Quote: I do not want bantams. I am too lazy to clip wings xD And although I think they are adorable I somehow like the classic duck look instead of the dove look. But thanks! -

Quote: I PM'd you! Does anyone have a view on Black and or blue swedes as pets? -

Welsh Harlequins? Some people have given good and bad reviews on them -

Quote: I thought runners were supposed to be really timid and not like humans, like REALLY just not even want to be around them. You think if I were to hand raise them and keep them close like my other ducks since they were ducklings, they would like me? -
Best pet breeds?
I'm actually thinking of getting anconas or muscovies, but I'd really like to get anconas...but everywhere that sells them has a minimum shipment of 10 ducklings -

m.kitchengirl : I got mine from Craigslist - the first three. Then I got 2 from a woman here on BYC who is in my area (sort of - I drove 2 & 1/2 hours to meet her & she had quite a drive as well. About an hour. There may be someone near you who has them, and I think someone on the Ancona... -

m.kitchengirl : hey, are anconas good pets if you hand raise them? I really love my Anconas. They are as "friendly" as ducks should be. They know where their peas come from. They are not that loud, though they have their moments. (My chocolate duck loves to let me know when the school bus... -

Quote: Pekins seemed like a good pet too, I heard they're the most sociable, but also the most loud? uhh my drake talks a lot. i can't ever sneak up on my scovy drake because aflac is always quacking his face off haha yeahh that's what I figured.. -

Quote: But I don't want eggs and they need a special diet that I'm not sure my feed store has. I don't know.. is it just male muscovies that fight? Hens dont need a special diet. My hens and drakes eat the same food. Hens just need oyster shell Pekins are my vote! Pekins seemed like a... -

Quote: Well I heard Drakes are nicer and I had two drakes and they were very nice and loved me and followed me even when they were 5 months old. I feel like girl ducks (girl animals in general) start to not care and will just do their own thing. Also, Drakes are more quiet. I live close... -

Quote: no... i'll check now. is craigslist reliable? and would they arrive within the day after they're born? With craigslist you may find someone close to you that has ducklings, more than likely you'll have to pick them up or meet them half way. I know some on here that have bought and... -

Quote: That is a wonderful idea. When we had to have our 161/2 year old dachshund put to sleep I said I couldn't do it again I was so heartbroken, and I'm sure many have said the same thing. But 3 weeks later I was so needing a little dog to fill my life, so we went and got another lil... -

By the way, the only place I have ever bought from was Metzer Farms though the California Hatchery has muscovies but they do not say when their birds come into stock. Right now most of them are out of stock so I may have to settle for whatever is at Metzer Farms... By the way, do you know if... -

Quote: where did you buy them? I like muscovies and think they're cute but I'm nervous that they can fly and I'd have to clip their wings Muscovies get really fat, and drakes especially can't get far off the ground. My girl doesn't fly or roost like people have said. I bought them from a... -

m.kitchengirl : I think the runs are easier to build & much more sturdy than buying one of the pre-fab contraptions. I bought a pre-fab chicken coop (I am not at all handy) but couldn't find a duck house to fit my needs/budget, etc. I built my duck house & it has held up really well this fall... -
