Pros: Don't swim as much as other ducks.
aren't as messy as other ducks.
quiet compared to other ducks.
they're big size and good meat makes them excellent meat birds.
Cons: Some are capable of flight.
they are bullies to smaller birds.
they are hard to handle with their sharp claws, strength and size.
Good birds, very quiet but some females can fly.
the females make a quiet whimpering sound and they can make a quack like sound when stressed, drakes make a hissing sound and will usually bully or fight other drakes.
I'm giving them 4 stars because they are good birds but not for everybody.
