Yeah I would have to say I got them for their cuteness. I dont need them for eggs b/c I have plenty of chickens for that and I definitely didnt get them for meant lol besides we are not big duck meat eaters. But I hatch pretty much every egg my Calls lay so I dont really have many to eat anyway lol and the ducklings sell very well around here so I dont have any extras that need to head to freezer camp.
