We have really enjoyed our Muscovie Ducks. They are quiet (unlike guineas) and eat more bugs than guineas. They are an excellent source of meat and eggs as well. These ducks will roost in trees (at least that's what they tell me - ours hasn't figured that out yet) which makes them able to be safe at night while sleeping.
We house ours with the chickens. They have a large "yard" to forage in and a small tub to swim in (although there is a pond very close to them and they haven't figured out how to get to that either). They are excellent layers and will sit on their eggs well with good mothering skills. We just love our Muscovies!
