I'm planning to get five Golden Layer females four Buff females and one Buff male next spring. I think that will be a nice extension to my five runner ducks, fawn and white, 2 drakes 3 females. What i've heart is that the Buffs are the calmest and tamest ducks of all. (?)
Some...I guess. I mean no matter what people tell you on calmest duck is really going to depend on how you work with them. Like what I mean is that if you have a Buff and don't play with it when young and hand feed will not be very social VS a buff who is handheld talked to and hand fed when young. But yes I really think that buffs are fun and calm ducks! Here are my buff girls!
They look really cute! Somehow buff ducks always look happy to me, maybe it is the colour…
Buffs are not the only calm breeds ...Appleyard are great too..
I think even the most scared buff duck is nothing compared to my hand-fed and cared for Indian Runner bitches. Except for Limpy my special need duck they all yell »murder death crime« on top of their lungs when i just try to touch them. That is so frustrating!
I hope by adding some calmer and friendlier ducks they will calm down too and don't treat me like the duck-swallowing humain.
I know, also Welsh Harlequin. But those are heavy breeds and the Buff is a medium and the Golden Layer is a light breed that might bond better to the lightweight Runners. - Just my thought. I also like to add some Cayugas and Rouens to my flock later - if i cannot get my hands on some Dutch Hookbills…
