I am going to get some hatching eggs from some kind of duck, but I don't know which =/ I want a good forager that I can keep with my chickens without too much mess, also must be a good egg layer. Any suggestions and why?

Well, there is no such thing as a no or little mess duck. In my signature, there is a link to a thread about picking a breed. Try that to start with.

Have a plan in mind because housing ducks and chickens together is not always ideal. Also, since you'll be hatching eggs, have a plan for what to do with extra drakes as too many will try to breed your chickens and can injure/kill them.
