Duck Breeding Selection Guidelines??

[v.cyr]

Are there any guidelines for selecting for better production(meat and/or eggs) in ducks, kinda like the ones that the ALBC has for chickens?...

They also have lists for ducks and geese. Metzers also has a comparison chart on their site.

sorry, maybe I should have been clearer... I'm not looking for a list of breeds, or comparisons of different breeds, but some guidelines for assessing ducks to decide who to keep and who to cull (with meat and egg production in mind, not exhibition qualities, which we could care less about)... we have started to use these guidelines (and these too) when choosing which chickens to keep and I was wondering if there was a similar set of guidelines for ducks...

Ducks are similar in that you can judge them using the finger width method Between the pelvic bones to know if they are laying. I haven't seen compiled info like those you posted though going over distinct items to judge for eggs and or meat. I do know Metzers chart covers egg production and meat production on their list, comparing the breeds they offer against each other.
