>>Who in their right mind keeps Muscovy Ducks??!! They are butt ugly , dirty and messy birds. What's the attraction?

LOL!!

I don't keep them myself. In part, I don't have them because they fly. I do have ducks, but the breeds I keep are non-fliers.

Many people keep Muscovies both for their production value (good meat, some eggs) and for their personalities. They make good "watch dogs", pest eaters, and they are supposed to be quite intelligent. There is a long long history of Muscovies in domestication.
