Muscovy Duck : Age and Weight

Muscovy duck(locally known as 'pato' or 'bibe' in the Philippines) are resilient, fast growing and good egg producers that is why I love to have them in our yard.
I have listed the weight that they have according to age based on my experience. It is still incomplete and will keep it updated.

Age and weight

Age Diet Gender Weight(kg)
Live Feathered
Day old Comercial feeds Male ? ?
Female ? ?
30 Days Corn and pawa Male ~0.75 ?
Female ? ?
60 Days Corn and pawa Male 1.50 ?
Female ? ?
95 Days Corn and pawa Male 2.50 2.10
Female ? ?
120 Days Corn and pawa Male ? ?
Female ? ?
150 Days Corn and pawa Male ? ?
Female ? ?
180 Days Corn and pawa Male ? ?
Female ? ?
> a year Corn and pawa Male 3.00 ?
Female 1.40    1.25


'Pawa' is a Bikolano term for cooked vegetables given to hogs and poultry. 

I think that the best age to harvest is 90 days(3 months) as after it the growth rate will be slow and with the same amount of food that we give then. Also the meat at this age does have a good quality(not too tender compared to a 2 month old).

Philippine motorcycle official websites

Let us list below Philippine motorcycle brands official websites :
  1. Motorstar
    • Zest X 110-M - I have this for about a year since November 2023. So far it is good. I used it regularly well going to the market.
      First thing that failed only after a minute of use is the headlight lamp. I got it replaced at a motorcycle shop with LED type and paid P350 + P50(installation). Then failed again after 6 months. This time got the LED type at shoppee for P69 with free shipping. I decided to do the installation myself. So far it is doing well for about 4 months.
      Second that failed after 6 months of use is the gasoline hose that had cracked around. It was replace and paid P240.
  2. Skygo
  3. Rusi
  4. Kymco
  5. Yamaha
    • YTX 125 - My desired next motorcycle.
  6. Honda
  7. Kawasaki

Linux Cheat sheet

1) CLI Equivalent of "Safely Remove Drive"?
fdisk -l | grep Disk | egrep '/sd'

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04

Using udisks2: Detach a disk with udisks2:

udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdXY
udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX
Example if my drive is /dev/sdb1:
udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb1
udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb
Similarly to above, power-off can be used to detach the drive even if there are no partitions mounted, or no partition was ever mounted:
udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdb
