Different Breeds of Ducks

[Newduckowner13]

Hi! I just recently inherited 2 Pekin ducklings from a coworker (1 male, 1 female). They are about 4 weeks old. I was looking to get more different breeds of ducklings all female (welsh harlequin, silver appleyard, cayuga & mallard) can I just get one of each breed all raised together or do I have to buy them in pairs?

One of each breed would be fine - they are all 'mallard derived' and speak the same language.

I would get the cayuga they are the same size... and like pekins don't fly away...

Maybe the others are as well? (Big like pekins; limited duck knowledge)
Neighbor had a bunch of ducks; they all flew away lol khaki kambal? plus a bunch of others)

I got the pekin/cayuga and they have been doing great... for about 4 years now.

If you buy each breed separately; they will force you to buy two of each (commercial stores)... However; if you buy the ducks all at once the stores will allow you to mix and match to bypass the minimum of 2 required. (At least here; TSC & Rural King)
