Big Question and some help needed!

[duckncover]

I really want to get some ducks soon. Noise is an issue but only if you think that someone can hear it from outside of a house. I want to know if someone can tell me out of what ideal poultry has to offer what would be the best breed for my situation? I need a duck that is quiet...that's my only concern. I heard that a certain gender is quieter but I can't find the post. I personally like the magpie, mallard, and rouen. Can anyone tell me what breed would be most compatible for a house duck?

Males are always quieter for every breed. Out of the ones you like, magpies are the quietest. Other's include campells and cayugas based on what I've heard.

Muscovies (male and female) are very quiet.

Yep, very quiet. They don't quack at all. The girls coo and make sweet soft sounds and once the boys reach maturity they just hiss. They wag their tails a lot.
