Mostly drakes tussle with wrapped necks and a pushme pullme fashion.
HOWEVER - bewarey, your Muscovy has weapons the other drakes don't - his
claws.
If they seem settled with the routine, with the people about and they
cannot fly then it would be a fine time to let them go.
The best bit of routine to establish before releasing them is an afternoon
grain feed in their pen. Once this is set then they are cued to returning
into it for a good reason.
I would probably do it in the afternoon [before feeding] so they get to
have a wander around for an hour or so then bring them in with their
afternoon grain.

Hi Jill,
Yes I have noticed the muschovies claws, look rather fierce. For the past
two days I have had the gate open on the duck pen, my two khaki's come
running out, but the three muchovies have not budged from the pen, it seems
they do not want to come out, they just sit in the pen, eat, drink and thats
it, maybe they are not comfortable yet to leave it.
cheers
Linda
