Gender questions...
So I have two Pekins and two Cayugas, all supposed to be girls, all five and a half months old. I've been getting one large and one small white to greenish off-white eggs for the last two weeks, so I assume these are the Pekins'. One of my Cayugas, Frances, has been acting kind of dominant and... -
Really loud ducks...
I have two Pekins and two Cayugas, all (supposedly) females and about 13 weeks old. I have never had ducks before, so I don't know what to expect, but these ducks are loud. And they don't like to be alone, so they quack as loudly as possible when they want company. I got Cayugas because they... -

What is the most friendly breed of duck?
I keep reading things about how calm they are, but are the calmer ones more friendly? My mom wants a couple of ducks that will follow her around the yard and keep her company when she's gardening (which she does a lot). She loves ducks and had them as a kid, and I'm finally convincing her to...
