Muscovies are terrible birds for egg laying.
If you want eggs to eat, keep the chickens.
They dont lay many eggs in a year. I cant give you a number though lol. They will hatch out anything. They are fantastic mothers.
Because of this they make perfect meat birds.
As in im never raising another meat chicken intentionally again, kind of "perfect meat birds."
Ive decided after my experience this year, im not fooling with meat chickens any more. The ducks are just outright better.
These things are quiet, they dont tear up stuff as much, I dont have to manage anything for the hen that hatches the ducklings, and it *seems* like I dont have to rush to harvest them like meat chickens.
The males are massive birds, im still trying to figure out the best time to harvest them but the ~5 month old I smoked for Thanksgiving was really good.
I want to figure out simpler ways to Cook them but thats all trial and error stuff.
