We used to keep maskovy ducks when I was a child. They multiply quick,they always lays eggs. The eggs were big and nutritious but the ducks to eat, I love them so much! Anyway... The alpha male is a fearless leader, he protected the whole flock not only that,ours thought he was the alpha male of the whole household because we were a family of 3 females so he was very protective. He mostly used to stay close to the gate and questioned anyone who came by. He was huge and very intimidating and did not mind to bite. I love that duck!
Not a fan of duck but I love there eggs and the look on people’s faces when you show up to a reunion with a tray full of huge deviled duck eggs is great . Lol
my dad raises many ducks when i was a child, it so entertaining, lol, and if you don't build them a shelter to laying egg, they will randomly laying egg everywhere
I use duck eggs for baking, especially sponges. There's no need to separate the egg whites, as you do with hen eggs. They give the sponges a luxurious yellow color and moist texture. Very easy and except for breaking open it's easy.
@@AddamSolo Yes i agree :) rabbit meat is one of the best white meat ... especially if they were fed wild flowers .. their flesh becomes fragrant and good Bon appétit, good and delicious meal ^^
@@imedimed8025 You should try a muscovy duck breast, pan seared or grilled rare. That might be the best meat on the planet. It's got less fat than other ducks and the meat is more red, like veal or beef.
@@AddamSolo ... Thank you I will try it .. now I have Pekin duck and a silver appleyard ... and a cross between the two but everyone says that muscovy are the best in meat .. but not in eggs...because they don't lay much I can't wait to try them
I never understood peoples claims of goose and duck meat being fatty or greasy. I mean, the skin holds a lot of fat, sure, but the meat itself is quite lean, rich, and delicious. I don't care for muscovies, simply because of their attitude. We're getting Jumbo Pekins this year.
A muscovy duck can successfully mate with a mallard, once. They eat grass like a goose and take longer to hatch. Muscovy and mallard ducks were most likely the same species less then 10,000 years ago.
@@MrMoekanz Muscovy ducks will thrive on a diet of grass. Mallard ducks generally won’t. I have never raised a hybred between the two. Intrestlingly my muscovy hen hached out 10 ducklings just last week.
great info. Thank you. were in prices of learning (beginner's at homesteaders). my sis in law gave us 3 ducks one male, 2 females. they've laid once and like sixteen eggs all at once. they haven't laid again. We have much to learn lol.. but I love them.
we love our ducks and our duck eggs. we find that our ducks are very good at laying in the same spot and they usually lay before dawn when we let them out. is this common duck behavior?
Great video. Have you had any losses due to predators since you allow them to free range in your yard during the day? I've raised Pekins, White Hybrid, Golden Cascade and Appleyards. Appleyards are by far my favorite due to the quantity and size of their eggs and their temperament. I had a "duckapolloza" event where we had 15 people compared the taste Pekin, White Hybrid and Appleyard meat. Appleyard was the unanimous favorite though Pekin provided more meat per bird. Good to hear that you like Appleyards as they are a rare breed used here in the States. I got mine from Holderread Farms.
Can you suggest a simple inexpensive recipe for feeding them for laying ducks? The feed from my local mill isn't working. It feeds them, but they haven't been laying eggs for almost a year now. Something isn't right with the laying mash they are selling.
I agree with you, I have been raising hundreads of them and in thailand they raise mostly for meats. I want to raise khaki campells but afraid it would be too noisey.
Most of the ducks are hatched artificially in incubators and not taken away from their mothers Also this practice has been going on for so many generations and so long (I think that ancient Egyptians were the pioneers of artificial hatching) that many of the domesticated duck species don't even have the instinct to care about their eggs anymore and just leave them on the ground to rot away and not even forming a nest. These breeds have become very dependent on human intervention. Without us they wouldn't survive. That's what domestication does. Their psychology is also very much different from ours which makes your human impulses even less relevant. How would you feel if someone collected your menstrual bleeding each month and consumed it? See?... we are not alike.
Jessica Brown, Duck owner here. Farm ducks, like the she has on her farm, don’t fly off anywhere. But if you life next to a lake or a pond. Better keep a good look out them. They can easily fall prey to many predators. Best keep them in a fence in area. You can use a kiddy pool, if they want to swim.
Noncarnivores will find this video very repulsive. Ducks make very good friends and they keep bugs out of the vegetable garden. Their eggs are rich and the yokes are like pudding when soft boiled.
My ducks are pets. They’re due to lay their first eggs this year - I don’t know how I’d feel about the eggs being eaten. I have 6 Runner ducks I hatched late sumner, they’re my feather babies... 2 girls 4 boys.
FR, to me, that is not compassionate way to be. All animals have a soul. It's your choice, but we don't need flesh anyway. I'm a Nutritional Counselor. Protein is in every vegetable, grains and most fruits to. Most people get to much protein, which makes the body over acid and people more aggressive. Also, the strongest animals on this planet are vegetarians! We have a choice!

I am a city slicker so I only know duck from the park or Peking duck in the WIndow from the Chinee restaurant. But they don't fly away? I started chickens a year ago. Only 3 left from about 20. A posom got into the coop. Killed 10 in one night. My dogs had a good day when I thought maby the chickens can roam in the yard. Like I've seen people do on utube. Well that didn't end well for some of them. And for some reason chickens eat way more than I ever expected. A 5gal bucket with corn last maby 2 months and I only have 3 chickens. Maby I have a million rats as well? Anyway it's not as easy as it looks. Def want ducks. But I can't let them roam and my cook isn't that big I say 10 birds max. And u feed them the green stuff that floats on the water? Algea or don't know the word for it. Have to find a way to get my hand on that. I live at sea we have seaweeds but never seen a duck at sea haha.
Yes of course .. although the ducks have the annoying habit of dirtying water too quickly and hens do not like it .. because it promotes chicken disease .. Also the roosters find the ducks easier to catch lool .. and they spend all day hunting them which can stress the ducks But it is doable in any case :)
I noticed something. You need to do more research. Muscovy is NOT the only species that doesn’t descend from Mallards. There are Mandarins, Wood, Muscovy, and much more that don’t descend from mallard.

Give them a pond or large plastic pool to swim in they will be happier.

Most ducks lay in clutches... will lay daily for a bit, then pause, then lay again. Only certain breeds lay more consistently.
My duck too
Really neat to see these videos, you deserve more subscribers! Subbed! :) Thanks!
Foxes in the hen house
Very cute and beautiful ducks.
White egg layer ducks produce less blue eggs than other breeds and they produce about 300 eggs a year which is even more than chickens lay.
just subbed lol I'm watching this because of the title AND you live in iowa, well, your channel says Iowa.
Why don't you raise khaki campbell ducks, they produce the most eggs out of any bird in the world
Very good 👍🦆
we love our ducks and our duck eggs. we find that our ducks are very good at laying in the same spot and they usually lay before dawn when we let them out. is this common duck behavior?
Will these ducks be good for south Florida weather?
When do ducks start laying eggs?

it's kinda funny, you'ed think predators would get them, but where I live there is 6 or 7 that hang out free day and night. Don't even have a pen.
Duck is delious !
Can you suggest a simple inexpensive recipe for feeding them for laying ducks?
The feed from my local mill isn't working. It feeds them, but they haven't been laying eggs for almost a year now. Something isn't right with the laying mash they are selling.
If you cook wild duck the right way it won't be greasy and you can peel the fat right off. Also is more lean than any domestic duck.
I need to try duck eggs, since hen eggs are skim eggs 👍
these farmed ones are much more attractive than the wild ones here in florida. I wonder if the wild ones taste any different.
They look like some pretty furry son of a guns...
Disease n there remedies. Pl post video on it
How did they keep the ducks in the pen
Yes
Ivan_is_happy _k
Yes
Love your video. Could you tell me what kind of camera you use. The video is very clear.
Thank you! This video was shot with a Sony XDCAM pdw-850
The deal with Muscovy ducks is the eggs take 42 days to hatch if one were to raise the. Not all that productive. I still LOVE Muscovys .
I agree with you, I have been raising hundreads of them and in thailand they raise mostly for meats. I want to raise khaki campells but afraid it would be too noisey.
Lots of info, but not much regarding "Raising Ducks for Eggs".
Their???
Only have ever raised mallard ducks, I know they could be better than chickens, but they're just so messy and poop massive puddles of waste everwhere.
How could you eat them
They are good in a stew
What the hell is wrong with you? Thorp kal troll much? Go eat some grass you sheep. Why are you here dumbass
Roasted is good.
Dont reply to it. It wants attention!
The same way I eat anything else. With my mouth.
ducks rock!!!!!

How would you feel if you were one of those ducks and having your babies taken away from you how would you feel!!!!

Do they ever fly away and take awhile to come back. I would be shared of having pet ducks move somewhere else as I live by lakes with wild ducks

Their wings should be cut from flying. .
Duck to me is like a combo of beef like meat but chicken softness.
Cut the wings at first and by the time it grows back the ducks are use to their new home!
The title is raising ducks for eggs and then they go on to tell about which ducks are good for eating......
Jesus you snowflakes are ridiculous and you wonder why people make fun of vegans
Hi... I have duck farm in india and having capacity of 5000 egg per day. I want to export it to Ur Country. Please share intersted party no.

Ducks are good.

Muscovy ducks are grass eaters so no food bill. Same with geese. FREE eggs and meet.
Build a pond, it would be cool and the ducks would like you more.
