Okay so, I have two muscovies a drake and duck. We originally had five except we gave two away (which were male) and kept the others. We ended up butchering two males since they were too aggressive. Now the male we have now is getting out of hand. But we really want more ducks. We really don't want to take a chance of getting all drakes if we hatch the eggs from our female musc. So I was wondering if we could get cayuga and/or Khakis. They have to be quiet and friendly towards people and the other ducks. Any experience with them?
Will the drakes fight alot? Will the females fight? What if we got just female of the new duck? Which breed is better?
 
Oh and how are they flying wise? Our muscovies have their wings clipped but it's quite obvious the male wouldnt get far even if his wings weren't clipped.
 
Both cayugas and campbells can't fly. I have cayugas and I love them. They are very pretty and for the most part friendly. Drakes will fight if you have less than 2-3 ducks per drakes. Females should not fight. Campbells are more skittish and nervous than cayugas and cayugas are much quieter. I vote you get cayugas :)

Thanks!
Do you think it would work if i have the male and female scovies and a male and female campbell? And would they also need another cage? And how quiet are the cayugas? Sorry I just want to get all the details before I even start planning on buying them =)
 
If you are only getting two more ducks I would get two females. Two drakes with only two females will fight and may over mate the females. When introducing the new ducks to your scoives you need to separate them until they get used to eachother. I do this by making a smaller pen inside the large one. After they get used to eachother they can all be in the same enclosure. I don't know exactly how quiet the cayuga females are ( I keep an all drake flock) but they are known for being the quietest breed of duck besides for scovies.
 
Sweet, thanks! And we would probably get the two females or keep them totally seperate
