Are you sure you aren't confusing Muscovies with ducks? Muskies are
genetically, a goose. The poop is very smelly and their eggs (being
geese) are a little stronger. Duck eggs, on the other hand, taste the
same as hen eggs, albeit a bit larger. They make fantastic pavlovas,
scrambled eggs etc. .....aahhhh, wishing I had some ducks in my garden!!

Feeding any animals, particularly ducks, totally on bread is not good
for them, they put on too much fat and it can swell in their crop and
kill them. Would you like a diet of bread? ;-)

Except for my childhood memories of being chased by ducks and slipping over
in their very slippery poo
I am also ashamed to say I must be a very bland person, as I find duck eggs
too rich for my palette !

I like seeing them at park ponds though, and throwing bread to them
