Poll: what duck breeds should I get?

[azure_]

So I want ducks I don't just want one breed I want a bunch.

I am no expert on ducks but you probably want ducks of the same size (from what I understand Pekins and Runners are quite large) and some breeds are much smaller. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

They don't all need to be the same size

What for? Eggs, meat, pets, or ones just just look pretty?

My favorites are Runners, Campbells, and Harlequins. Campbells are amazing layers, Harlequins lay almost as well and are beautiful ducks, and Runners are... well, Runners. There's no defining them. And Anconas, of course. Good medium-weight layers, unique, wonderful feathering. But it's personal preference.

Runners and lots of em’ !!! Great layers..I’ve got a seven year old going on eight year old hen who’s still laying. Their are also insanely goofy and act like a little gang of toddlers.

100% blue runners! Bagel, my blue runner hen is the funniest thing. They're so sweet, pretty, funny looking, and fantastic layers!
