Pond Chickens and Disgraced Royalty

[MaxMan]

We have these Muscovy Ducks around here. The lady next door feeds them, now they even peck at her sliding glass door when they want food. Ok sweet lady, good for her. But now as they come over to check out our pond, they have learned that people feed them. So they are now around our door, squirting their little hearts out (not exactly hearts). and when we come out here they come. The new locals from foreign lands I heard call them pond chickens. Good to eat? Duck and worm souffle. You would have to be very hungry I would think.

Now the poor bird dubbed Majesty. Lost all his girl getting feathers. Hope they grow back though. Molting I guess.

Corn fed ducks are good to eat

I have them around here in the local ponds, but I’ve never heard anybody eating them. Cats and coyotes love them.

In certain sections of So.Flo. the muscovy have disappeared because the folks discovered that they're good to eat.

You could always do what the government does when they want to control an invasive species, they bring in another invasive species… ever think about getting a few Haitian's???

Local? I have not dissected the issue but I have heard they are very wormy.
