Benthejockey Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Black muscovy. They're good slug removers. Also they're supposed to be good eating and egg layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs are fine but the ducks themselves would never win any prizes for there looks , the meat is apparently top notch and inter breeding is common with the Mallard , this then produce a good all round duck for its taste .

MirokuMK70 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I believe that gressingham ducks are muscovy. Damn tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
