Buying six ducklings next weekend-- breed suggestions?

[meghan713]

Right now I'm thinking about 3 khaki campbell/3 pekin. Does anyone have any suggestions? I do not own a pond, I will be providing a kiddie pool for water play. And probably no smaller breeds as they will be roosting in the same building as my chickens and guineas.

My aunt has Rouen's. They are friendly (actually follow her dh around the yard) and get along great with the chickens! We're getting some of her eggs this year!

I'd say 3 Campbells and 3 runners.... They're so funny!

Yeah Runners and Khakis would be great together and they will lay eggs for you contsantly!

What do you want the ducks for? Eggs? Meat? Both? My favorite dual purpose bird is Welsh Harlequins. For eggs mainly...runners with Welsh Harlequins as a close second. Welsh Harlequins are mellower than Khakis and more friendly. Plus they will brood.
