Where do you find rescues? I've tried, but can't find any out here. Most places out here (Northern California) are sanctuaries and don't seem to adopt, but rather only accept monetary donations.
Dang it. I'm in California. I would've bought them. In a heartbeat.
Give them a chance! They may surprise you! I choose my breeds for similar reasons. I don't have 2 of the same breeds for that reason (well, I do have 2 Silkie chickens).
I asked BYC what breeds I should get, the OVERWHELMING...
They're DUCKS. They are all fabulous creatures. Everyone raves about Pekin personalities. Mallards are gorgeous. Buffs are great all around ducks, from what I've heard.
I can't imagine being disappointed. Get to know them. I was planning on getting those breeds in the future because I've read...
