alexsamp Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 How many muscovy ducks could you get in a duck eglu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I would say Muscovys are far too big for an eglu.... Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Karlotta - just for clarification - is it the eglu that is too small or the run (or both)? Alex - how about miniature silver appleyards or call ducks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexsamp Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Alex - how about miniature silver appleyards or call ducks? yeah, its just i am trying to decide which duck breed is best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Alex - maybe you should be looking at a duck house that is not an eglu? Don't get me wrong I'm sure the eglu would be good but a bigger house (with a taller door) could mean more choice of ducks. I have Cayuga's which are lovely (I am biased of course) but they are rather big. Very hardy though and relatively quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I would say Muscovys are far too big for an eglu.... Sorry. Agreed, they are big ducks Call ducks, black East Indies or Mini silver appleyards would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poached Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi I have had call ducks and indian runners in a eglu classic and i have also had appleyards and aylesburys in a cube. Hope it helps Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Karlotta - just for clarification - is it the eglu that is too small or the run (or both)? I think both would be too small. I have my runners in a Gree Frog like yours and can't imagine them in an eglu never mind great big chunky Muscovys. .... and i have also had appleyards and aylesburys in a cube. How did they get in? Or was it without the wheels etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poached Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Karlotta: it was without wheels when they lived in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
