Muscovy Ducks are large breed ducks that are often used for meat and natural incubators. The females are smaller than the males. They tend to go broody often. Both sexes have a bare black-and-red or all-red face. The male also has pronounced caruncles at the base of the bill. The average lifespan of a Muscovy duck is up to 20 years, that number is less attainable in the wild due to predation and injury.  Muscovy ducks will lay seasonal from Feb- Aug and typically go broody when they have a clutch of 15 eggs.
