I have have been raising ducks for years now. Pekins are really friendly ducks. They stay pretty close to home, they are good layers and if you are looking for white craft feathers, look no further! They are also good meat ducks and can get pretty heavy. They don't fly, so they are easy to catch and little kids love them! Unfortantly you need to have a good ratio of ducks to drakes, otherwise (because of their size) they will pick on the smaller males as well. They are also slightly messy, and if you plan on having a little pool for them, it will need to be changed a lot!

When I first found out abotu muscovies I couldnt believe they were a duck! After doing more reasearch I found a guy nearby that sold some ducklings. So I bought 2 and they have grown up to be the biggest (and best) ducks I have owned. All of my other ducks are not as gentle and dont want to be around me, but my muscovies will walk right up next to me and look at me with that "Give me food look". When they first started flying I was very surprised, becase I thought they were to big to fly. Well I guess tey dont really "Fly" they fly "Jump" I guess. They cant sustain a flight for longer than 10 seconds. The only downfall to them is how they break my netting over my coop because of their weight.

Otherwise they are a great, weird looking breed!
