I need a duck breed that is hardy to humid weather in the south and maybe 1 snow a year. The climate ranges from 100-10 degrees. Those are the tops it has gotten here, so its not like that all the time. Pics with a breed would be great. Thanks in advance!

Ducks are extremely hardy, and pretty much any domestic breed is going to do just fine with minimal shelter in your climate.

Maybe Indian Runners?

Or Pekins are always a favorite:

I am in Colorado. It gets pretty hot here in Summer and we usually get a couple of blizzards in Winter. If they have shade/shelter and a kiddie pool, they should be fine no matter the breed.

I like Welsh Harlequins and Runner.

Welsh Harlequins will go broody, but I have been selling their eggs for hatching so they haven't nested. I have one drake for 4 hens.

One of my hens is an Indian Runner. Runners don't typically go broody, but Chrissy has a nest of 8 eggs she is guarding fiercely
