Hi Kim,
Thanks, I'll keep looking. BTW which duck controls mosquitos in ponds, mallards or muscovies?

- Greetings,
- There are some breeds that will actually breed and raise their own young. I haven't had turkeys for about 5 years, so I am not naming breeds since I would probably mix them up. The turkeys that have been bred to have the heavy breasts are the worst, the closer to wild you can stay, the better.
- I have rarely eaten veal, I refuse to eat it since the animals are so mistreated in the US. Muscovy tastes like duck to me, but I like duck. I grew up eating it and only tasted veal as an adult. What I like about the Muscovy is the number of meals it makes. Killing a mallard duck seems silly, all that work to barely feed 2 people. I sometimes keep them just to keep the mosquitos under control on my ponds.

- Hi Kim,
- Thanks for the info, I suppose there are not any bright breeds that will actually feed themselves. I´ve never had Muscovy ducks. Someone once told me they taste a little like veal. Any truth to this?

- Greetings,
- Depending on the breed, turkeys can be really stupid. They will starve to
- death standing in a pile of food. Extremely careful research is called for
- or you will be hand feeding your babies every couple of hours. It is not
- fun. Muscovy ducks are fun and taste real good.
