Are ducks Aggresive?

[0809]

I am planning to buy a pair of ducks. Are they Aggrresive?

I don't know much about ducks. But from what I have gleaned off BYC, I have never heard of ducks being aggressive as long as they are kept properly.

If you have any specific questions, you can post here in our duck section for more info...

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

Ducks are genital for the most part and funny to watch and do
not rip up your lawn like Chickens do ......

Now the Geese can be a pain in the tush and not so friendly
to outsiders

Hello and Welcome To BYC!

Do you mean to people or other birds? A drake duck may try to breed chickens hens, if he doesn't have a mate. Since their "parts" are different, he can kill or severely damage a chicken.

Welcome to BYC. Most ducks are relatively non aggressive, but some drakes can be aggressive - especially during the breeding season.

Instead of buying ducks, I went to the nearby feed store to buy feeders and lamps and I saw little cute chicks so I bought 7. The store owner said I got a barred rock and a black australorp, but I can't tell the difference. Can you help?
