Muscovey Ducks
Our muscovey ducks have had a busy summer making babies and sitting on eggs. Or is it the other way around? They are the most delightful ducks. Known as the quackless duck, they are very quiet. The drakes will hiss at you but this is a greeting, not a warning. They communicate by head-bobbing which is cute to watch. If you get some young and spend time with them they can become very friendly. Their eggs are fabulous for baking or eating - large and flavourful. We have juveniles available soon. Please call 06 879 8847 or email at brenda.spiller@xtra.co.nz for photos.
