getting ready to put in cart ???

[ben is a terror]

getting ready to place order order but after reading a few posts I want to make sure I've got all my ducks in a row

I have a jumbo pekin in the cart but I just read they never shut up. 1 welsh Har. 1 Cayuga 1 Buff and 1 runner (nervous scarred ducks) We wanted all drakes to help with noise. Were told Bad Idea. Lots of fighting. We want nice ducks. I wanted a Muscovy but cant find a place that sell all these kinds sexed. The kiddie pools (2) a 5x5x6 dog kennel with small house for night time, and a little tykes play house and a picked fence play yard is all set but no duckies

OK now it's time to fill the cart. We can't have more than 4 maybe 5 if we're sneaky and DH can't count!

My male runner was extremely noisy. Others have said their males were quiet. Its an individual thing.
Muscovies are silent. The males hiss and fuss, but they dont make loud sounds. The females only peep when excited- why did you want them sexed? They are sweet ducks. I love my muscovies.

Pekins are loud. I dont know about the others. Oh, I had a noisy female cayuga- but then again, I seem to only grow noisy things.

Good luck in whatever you choose.

Thats easy- just gather the eggs.

No babies.

Mallards are the only quiet ones in my bunch, I have jumbo pekin. ( really recommend regular pekin as we have had a lot of leg problems) WH and Rouen. But if you are only getting a few then they would be much quieter than my bunch

Yea human family. If I got boys and girls won't they bond to each other more than us We don't want ducks that run away when we try to pet they. What about during breeding season won't they get nasty?

Any breeds you would def. not get for a rather hands on family. All the hens come when we call them. We can pick up almost all of them and they all eat from our hands. Some even peck at the slider when snack is late
