I've had poultry for almost 30 years and can count on one hand losses to predators because we simply close our birds up in a barn every night.

Chrissy, Muscovies are a species of duck (not goose) but not Mallard derived like most other breeds of ducks.
They're a tree duck originally from South America

I love the "scovies" because I can actually be outside during the summer months and not be driven crazy by mosquitoes.
These ducks are masters at keeping the mosquito population way down.
And if you have a slug problems they love those too.
They're also good eating (not as greasy all mallard derived ducks) and the girls are great setters.
