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.Ken
