Page 6: Duck breeds & turkeys

MUSCOVY DUCKS The Muscovy originated in Brazil and was domesticated in Europe around 1560.PECULIAR FEATURES:

It goes broody and will sit on and hatch eggs of other breeds as well as its own.

It flies, and perches on roosts and trees.

If already mated with members of its own breed, it will not mate with members of other breeds.

Where cross- matings are successful, the crossbred progeny are infertile and are known as ‘mules’.

The drake, unlike in other breeds, has no curl feathers in his tail.

Both male and female Muscovies ‘hiss’ rather than ‘quack’.

Muscovies are poor egg producers, and lay their eggs in clutches; that is, they may lay 20 or so eggs and go broody or pause before producing again.

Its eggs take 35 days to hatch, whereas eggs of other breeds take only 28 days.

Its meat has a lower fat content than that of other ducks.
