Hello,
I am interested in getting a few ducks. Although they will be working ducks, I still have to look at and care for them, so I want something that matches the following traits as closely as possible.
I like calm and quiet. I do not want nervous ducks. Several sites list the Welsh Harlequin as being very laid back. I am not interested in show stock, but they have nice colors, and I believe I would enjoy breeding them. What are their faults?
Blue Swedish can be bought now from Ideal. That is a plus because I plan to drive near Cameron and can pick them up, so no shipping problems or fee. In temperament, are they about the same as the WH? They also have nice colors that I believe I would enjoy. What are their faults? The listing says that crested ducklings may be included. I do not want crested ducks at all.
I know about the Muscovy, and that should be the perfect duck for me, but I just don't care for them.
I am not knocking anyone else's preference in ducks. I know many people love crested ducks, and the Muscovy folks will almost fight for their breed. I just want a breed that suits me.
TIA,
John
