Are they aggressive?

[HorseLady1]

I want to get ducks and I was told that I have to find out how they get along with each other. And if they are aggressive at all. Theses are the breeds that I am getting:
Miniature Appleyard,
Australian Spotted,
Dutch Hook Bill,
Golden Cascade,
Saxony,
Silver Appleyard,
Welsh Harlequin,
and Runners.
So can they get along together and are they aggressive? Are they good layers and how big are they (lbs.)? This will definitely save me a bunch of time (that I have already done just to find half of these). Thank You!

Aggression often turns up when mating season arrives. And from what I have read here, much of it involves drakes.

If they are handled properly and socialized, most ducks I am aware of can be fairly mellow even friendly, a few are cuddly. Some confused drakes have fallen in love with a person and end up biting them sometimes because they want to mate. That's all I can think of at the moment.

My runners are so sweet they don't bite or act aggressively toward me. But they do sometimes pester each other, and new ducks they are not really easy to accept. But that's pretty much a little shoving and chasing.
