New to ducks and geese

[newtoducks]

I am moving to a home with a pond and have heard that ducks and geese are good at keeping the snakes at bay. I would like to get about 6 (3 ducks and 3 geese) of different breeds and I need to know if i should get just female sexes? Would it be ok to keep them all together? The breeds are Ducks: Jumbo Pekin, Cayuga, and Rouen, and Geese: Toulouse, American Buff, and Embden. What do ya'll think of that?

. Ducks and Geese do nothing for keeping snakes away. Some people say guineas will but I haven't found that to be true.

Thank you all, I hope it works out. I have had ducks before on my farm and unfortunately they were chased away by my dogs. But my kids love them so I'm happy to try again! I would love some that stay in my yard

Congratulations on the new home. Not so certain about ducks keeping snakes at bay, but they sure are fun to have - welcome to BYC.
