Muscovy Ducks

I might be biased but in my opinion Muscovy ducks are the best Begging Duck if you live in a city or if you have close neighbors the do not quack at all the only reasons my neighbors know i have them is because when they where little they used to go under the fence into their yard and perch on my fence.

THE GREAT BREAD DEBATE

When feed is running low I mix in bread with their daily diet. Many people say that fowl should never consume bread because " bread is the equivalent to junk food for the birds".  Which if it is it should be allowed in moderation.
   But also many of these sites are not informing readers about feeding bread to "pet" birds. Many state that "In an area where ducks are regularly fed bread, ducklings will not receive adequate nutrition for proper growth and development.". But if it is your own fowl then you can control and moderate what they are eating.
  This next point is 100% true "Where an easy food source is abundant, ducks and other waterfowl will lay more eggs and the pond or lake will become overcrowded.". This year i have had multiple visiting mallard ducks come into my yard eat hangout with my ducks then fly away. This fact can be proven many major cities where started next to water one of the most important resources needed for humans to survive.
  Many also state "Feeding ducks bread can increase the spread of diseases in two ways. First, a carbohydrate-rich diet leads to greater defecation". This in my case is 100% false for those who don't know i am currently raising 4 Muscovy ducks 2 drakes and 2 hens they are free range in my backyard they always have. I feed them at least a loaf a week along with regular feed and i have not once stepped in their poo. And if I did I would probably know since I never wear shoes in my back yard. So what I have concluded with my personal Knowledge and research.  Is that bread should never be fed to wild fowl. But if you want to feed bread to your own personal flock you can if you want.
