After a year with our chickens and a month with our BBW turkeys, my husband suprised me with four rouen babies for my birthday. I decided on the breed because they weren't heavy layers, and were considered a calm breed. I could be happier! I ended up with three ducks and one handsome drake. They each have their own personality and and so entertaining to watch. They love to run back and forth along their fencing with our dogs. I read a lot of ducks get mad when you clean and change their pool water but mine live for it. They go nuts when I change it, chasing eachother and splashing around. The only negative I have is they can be loud. It doesnt bother me, and havent heard our neighbors complain yet. Theyll hear me yelling at my dogs inside and all of a sudden ill hear loud quacking that sounds like their laughing. I cant wait for spring when I try, or let mama try and hatch some babies
