muscovy duck will lay around eight to ten white eggs in a hollow
or a tree hole. The eggs will incubate around thirty five days.

centuries by the indigenous people of South America. It is said
that the muscovy got its name from Moscow, but it is known in
the commerce as Barbary Duck as it is native from Barbary. The
muscovy duck is popular breed as its meat has a very strong
