Thirty six (36) Muscovy duck hens and 9 drakes were used in this experiment of 3 treatments. Each treatment had 3 replicates with 4 hens and one drake. Treatment 1 was fed 100% palay, Treatment 2 was fed 50% palay and 50% sintas and Treatment 3 with a commercial layer mash. Data gathered did not show statistical differences in egg production, average egg weight and daily feed consumption. The total number of eggs layed by the ducks in 23 days were 27, 34 and 41 respectively for 1, 2 and 3. The average egg weight were 60.82, 62.71 and 66.1 g in consecutive order. The daily feed consumption per day were 132, 141 and 122 g, costing P0.17, P0.08 and P0.23, respectively. Ducks fed the commercial layer mash had a better performance in terms of number of eggs produced, egg weight and feed consumption. However, the combination of 50% palay and 50% sintas had the lowest cost of feed to produce the same unit of eggs
