Well pekins are more like a regular duck in posture....aylesburys are more upright...like a pekin in a runner body. However aylesburys are a lot more common overseas, never seen any around here.

Well, what do you want from the ducks? Meat, eggs, temperament, friendliness, broodiness? Figure out exactly what you want, and then get the ducks that fit the bill. When I first got ducks, I wanted lots of eggs and some more colorful ducks, so I got Khaki Campbells and Mallards.

Oh I know! European pekins are what I'm getting them confused with....duh
