After reading all the posts on ducks, I've decided to add a couple to my backyard flock of chickens. I'm going to get two at the same time I get my batch of chicks so they can all grow together. I can't decide on Pekin or Welsh harlequin. Maybe one of each? They will live between the coop/run and my fenced backyard. Though I have looked into the indoor duck thing.
What do all you expirienced duck owners think?
 
I am not that experienced with duck but i have heard that both pekins and welsh are good breeds. If it were me i would get one of each kind.

One of each kind is kind of a good idea, but keep in mind that if you just have two, and the Pekin is much bigger, it may make a difference if say they are different genders. (mating and such)
 
You must get two of the same sex to avoid over-mating!

I think one of each would be nice - I have a giant Aylesbury and a tiny Khaki Campbell and they love each other
