Black Muscovy Ducklings

Embrace the distinctive charm of Valley Hatchery’s Black Muscovy Ducklings, a breed steeped in elegance and versatility. Originally hailing from the wild landscapes of Brazil, these ducklings inherit their stunning black plumage, which in the right light, reveals a glossy greenish hue, accented by white on their heads and necks. This unique coloration is not just a visual delight but also a nod to their wild origins. As they grow, these ducklings will develop into substantial birds, with drakes reaching weights of 10-15 pounds and ducks slightly smaller at 6-8 pounds. What sets them apart is their remarkable red facial caruncles, adding an extraordinary touch to their already impressive appearance. Beyond their striking looks, Black Muscovy Ducks from Valley Hatchery are known for their serene and gentle demeanor. Unlike other duck breeds, they are quieter, making them well-suited for both rural and urban settings. Their foraging skills are unparalleled, actively grazing on plants and insects, which makes them not only self-sufficient but also valuable allies in natural pest control for gardens and ponds. Moreover, these ducks are exceptional mothers with strong maternal instincts, known for their broodiness and dedicated egg incubation. They lay eggs that are not only larger but richer in flavor and protein compared to standard duck eggs, making them a premium choice for culinary enthusiasts. Whether you’re a homesteader in search of a reliable source of high-quality eggs, a pond owner aiming for ecological pest control, or simply an aficionado of unique waterfowl, Valley Hatchery’s Black Muscovy Ducklings are an unparalleled choice.
