Ducks At A Distance

Are muscovy ducks good pets?

I found an ad in my local classifieds and they have muscovy ducks for sale. I really think I want one, but I don’t know if they have a good temperament. My other questions are:

Can I keep 2 in a large dog pen?
What do I feed a duckling?
How much food do I feed a duckling?
Are they easy to keep?
Will they bond with me?
Are they aggressive?
If I let them out will they run away?

Is bread really good for ducks and geese?

As a child we always fed our old bread to the ducks and geese in the park. Later, I was told that bread can clump up in their throats and choke them. Since then I have fed cracked corn to the ducks and geese in the park. Is the bread really terrible for them, I seldom see dead ducks or geese in the park?
