If they like the ducks then of course let them run together, My geese tolerate the ducks and they all range together but I could never house them together,

They can but dint be suprised if a duck or goose snap at each other once and a while.

Mine mostly ignore each other. Occasionally, the geese will get a little aggressive with the ducks.

Okay, I started reading this thread because I recently came upon a Craig's list add from a local breed who was getting rid of his breeding flock of American Buffs. I purchased from him two males and three females he told me the he got the trio one place and the other two from quite a ways away. So I bought all 5. Well, after getting them home a noticed the pair had pink bills and feet while the other three had bright orange bills and feet. I didn't really think anything of it because I had read on the livestock conservancy site that there bills and feet can turn pink if the aren't getting enough grass. But, after reading this thread I think I may have a pair of Brecon buffs and a trio of American Buffs for $140. Could someone tell me if my suspicions are correct or not?

It is possible. I am not certain though. It could just be off coloring on the beaks.

Aren't they beautiful? I just looked up Brecon since I have heard of them but never really saw any..

Are you in the UK? if not how many breeders of Brecon are in the USA?
