Hello,
Turns out one of the two ducklings I decided to keep is a drakeling. So I'm thinking of getting one more female, I'll get her as hatching eggs, maybe 10 eggs and then keep 3 that hatch until I can voice-sex.
I'm debating between layer breeds as I already have the beautiful white pekin. I believe the non-local breeds I can get here are Khaki Campbells and runners. I love duck eggs, but would prefer to select the breed based on the temperament as she'd be a pet first and foremost. I know a lot depends on the individual personalities and how they're raised but I do believe statistics is important, so please vote based on your experience if you've had both.
Thanks!
