Have you eaten Muskovy Duck?

[Boyntonstu]

[font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif]Muscovy duck has a unique taste: it is lean, meaty, tender and flavorful. ... Muscovy  has the highest yield of any duck available and 50 percent more breast meat than other ducks.Muscovy  breast meat is 99 percent lean and the skin of ourduck has 50% less fat than the Moulard or Pekin varieties![/font]

Do you get a living duck @49.99? Or is that pure meat? Weird question sure, but in my defense, this whole thread is weird. Linky?

That's kinda funny or I'm kinda drunk and easily amused. Most likely both.

What does "bleck, bleck patoooie" mean?

On a side note, my tablet auto corrected "bleck" into "black"...what doez it all mean?!?

We raised them for fancy restaurants in the past. They are awesome for a small farm because they don't need a pond and they are great flyers and have tons of eggs. Which mean you get both duck meat and awesome eggs. Unlike Peking which is a meat type variety only. They don't fly either which makes them easy to lose to predators.
Duck meat is normally pretty fatty but the Muscovy is not. It's very popular here. We sold each one processed(killed for the squeamish) and delivered for $25.
The fat makes amazing French fries too.

I got in a fight once with a Muscovy Duck, at a lake in Florida. Apparently I got closer to the (unseen) nest than one of them liked, and it charged at me in classic "attack" pose---wings out, head down, neck outstretched. It pecked at my legs, then flew up at my face. I ended up smacking it repeatedly on the face till itrealized that I was a lot bigger, it wasn't gonna win this fight, and it backed off.

Damn.

They sit on those eggs for 35 days so they tend to get a little pissy if they are bothered.
Once the ducklings are hatched though all bets are off unless you take the babies away and give them to a hen with chicks.Duck Moms just let the babies get into all kinds of danger.

I love Muskovy duck. My neighbor growing up used to raise them, so we had it quite often. I like it a lot more than chicken, often wondered why chicken became the poultry of choice and not duck.

And their eggs are also good.

Takes longer to get a duck to size and they don't "taste like chicken". It's like rabbit. They truly are efficient to raise and taste great but no one thinks Bugs or Daffy when they eat chicken.
A commercial chicken only takes 8 weeks to slaughter. They are easy to feed and cheap to process.
Ducks cost more because they are water proof making it difficult to scald to get the feathers off. Plus tons of pin feathers.
$2. to process chicken,$4. to process ducks and $6 to process rabbit. All three must be processed at a USDA plant to sell commercially here.
Those numbers translate to what chicken is so popular. Cheapest to raise and slaughter.

You can skin a Mucovy and not have scald to remove the feathers, etc.

you all realize that outside of 3 counties in Texas these ducks are considered an invasive species. feral populations are well established throughout the eastern US and southern Canada. feral populations of any invasive species have a negative impact on native species. just saying. highdesertranger

I'm a big fan of skinning birds verse plucking feathers.

That is why you can harvest them outside of McDonald's where there is always a bunch..

(At least, that is what I believe.)

They are all over the place where we live.

We raised Muskovys as a kid. I love their big green eggs. They are very rich, much more so than a chicken. Two of them are equivalent to 3 chicken eggs as far as size goes.

Anyone here ever had fried Muskovy tongue? They are pretty tasty, but amazingly have a bone that must be avoided or removed - sort of weird. We just ate around it.

I know, I know. I ain't right, but it is what it is.
