Duck Breeds

[Lutz Acres]

I’m thinking about getting ducks. I would like an egg laying breed who isn’t too flighty and can handle Florida heat. So far I’m interested in Welsh Harlequins, Anconas, and Magpies. What do you know about the above breeds and are there any others that might be suitable for me?

Those are all good choices, any mid or heavy weight breed will work.
