Breed Suggestions...

[bydhatch]

Looking to "adopt" a few ducks! What breeds are best for first timers?! I am looking for friendly and rather quiet ducks over good egg-layers! Thanks!
Also, any ideas if Blue House Farms in NC is reputable?

the most quiet ducks are muscovies they're not quacking just hisssing , but i think the best one for first timer is swedish duck; they are friendly , kinda quiet , beautiful and easy to handle

This is my first year of owning ducks and I have a 3 Cayuga ducks. The hens/ducks are so sweet and they are quite for the most part, plus the beautiful plumage.

Love my Cayugas. This is my second year keeping ducks and I'm already 1000% sure that Cayugas are the breed for me for life.
