So I'm curious to pick your minds on duck stuff again?
Is it true that every duck breed has some kind of advantage compared to others? What do you think about this?
And question 2; which ranking order would you put duck breeds in, in terms of 'mothering' ability? (Its clear that some have less mothering instinct than others. For example, some people will say runners are harder to get to care for eggs.)
And is there any reason to keep flying ducks? (I noticed that some people do have 'flying mallards' marked on certain poultry farm stores, where they are selling flying types (non-muscovy, non-call duck varieties). (And if they can fly is that a problem with 'retaining' them, from them trying to fly away?)(I wonder also if you could breed the flying ability back into some of these non-flying breeds? Oops, this is more of a side tangent.)
This is all so fascinating and interesting.
