Muscovy

Easy Care

Easy On Your Lawn

Great in your garden too!

A large breed, with clawed feet. They are as happy on your lawn as they could be in water. But given a pond, will spend a lot of time in it. They are excellent foragers in your yard and garden for slugs and other tasty bits, but mosquitos are one of their favourite snacks. They are also an important food source for local predators.
