Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Norma Sutton <sweetspringfarm@gmail.com>]

Ken I might be mistaken, but I think Muscovies are the breed that have been outlawed in most states as of this summer.  There was a lot of discussion about it on the poultry group I belong to.  You can raise them for meat, but you can't sell them and you have to have a special permit to even do that.  They have to be completely contained and if they are every caught out of a pen they have to be destroyed.

From my experience abroad and here, every farm should have Muscovies.  I have seen them eat flies right out of the air.  I assume that they will eat grasshoppers.  No coyote can catch one. They roost in trees and do not need a house.  Lay about 50 eggs per year.
