muscovy (plural muscovies)

  1. Muscovy duck
    • 1906, A. C. Laut, Pathfinders of the West[1]:
      The clerks have rejected it as much as they liked; I am told that they admitted somewhere about six thousands of muscovy; during our administration there were 28 or 30 thousands received, which is a large difference without taking into account other qualities, and all this does not give the French much trouble, and at the most for the year we were not informed.
