Greetings, Everyone!

I am so excited to find this group! I have raised a number of different types of birds, but duckies have always been my favorites. I had to sell off most of my birds a couple of years ago when my husband and I moved. We are adding a bunch of new birds this year though.

In the past, we have had Mallards, Runners, Anconas, Black East Indies, Australian Spotteds, and Mini Appleyards. I think for now we are going to focus on the bantam breeds due to space constraints and we have a couple different breeds coming. I will have to post pics of my new babies when they get here!

Hi there! Welcome from western Kentucky! I've been thinking about a pair or two of ducks; I love the look of the plain ol' white Pekins, but there are lots of others that catch my eye, too. Which ones would be good to try to integrate with 4 guineas, 20 hens, 2 roos, 4 Silkie hens, 1 Silkie roo, 1 OEGB bantam bbred roo, 2 OEGB bantam bbred girls, and 4 bantam frizzle cochin roos (actually 5, but one lives in the house at least for a while b/c he is extremely pigeon toed and isn't fast enough to avoid the guineas and a couple of the big guys who seem determined to beat the snot out of him...

) Any duckie recommendations? What about call ducks (I've heard they can fly very well, and I do let mine free range on days when I'm home)? What about the mini appleyards? or maybe one pair of standards and one pair of runners? any suggestions?
