Poll: What Is Your Favorite Duck Breed?

[Callender Girl]

My 10 are all runners, and I am constantly stopping in my tracks just to watch them parade across the yard (often with a pair of geese "encouraging" them from behind). I love their crazy gait and their lively chatter. When my duck queen, Quinn, gets excited -- about food, of course -- she just literally jumps up and down in one place. No one else -- of any species, including human -- EVER gets that excited when I serve dinner.

I understand that they are also the messiest.

I've never heard that before, my girls aren't very messy

I personally don't like muscovy because of their face.

People say the same thing about me . Haha

I’ve only ever had a Pekin, a Rouen (soon to be multiplied by 3), and 2 Muscovies.

I loved Margie, my Pekin as she was calm and gentle.

I love my Rouen, Daphne, as she has a fun and outgoing personality. Also, she’s tough and doesn’t back down from her bratty sisters.

I Love my Muscovies because they are more complex than the other breeds and require more understanding. They are also tough and not afraid to steal mice from my cats.

I love their crazy gait and their lively chatter.

My Runners are the same.

I think that due to their size that they just eat more and you know......
Muscovy duck were a close second to runners for me, but again, I don't consider myself very knowledgeable about ducks.
I better go give them breakfast. They are running around the house quacking pretty loudly right now!

Muscovies are awesome!!!

Sweet, brave, quiet, smart, non-fussy and just so unique.

Pekins are my runner-up, big cute fluff balls (though I’ve never actually had them. I’m honestly hoping that’s what’s in the grocery store mystery eggs I’ve got.

Welsh harlequins, calls, and Saxony.
But since I can only vote two, I just voted Welsh harlequin and calls.
