I used to be a big Orpington fan, but I lost too many cause of how slow they were. I free range and Orps are terrible at running from trouble

I free range my orps, never lost one but I guess it’s only because I stand guard with a metal pole! :lau

They're great ducks, but a little loud sometimes

I can handle noise! I just can’t believe I’m thinking of getting ducks!

Poultry of all sorts gets addicting. I'm even now considering pheasants lol.

Just a note to watch out for on ducks, they really can make a big mess out of a run, coop, and pond. Their poop isn't as solid as chicken poop so it can make quite the bog out of a place. When I used to raise Buff Orpington Ducks and Muscovy countless times I've slipped on their waste lol
