Saxony or Buffs?

[dyrne]

I'm planning on adding some ducks mostly for eggs to the menagerie and am trying to decide between the Saxony (harder to locate) or Buffs. Does anyone have experience contrasting these? My initial impression is that the Buffs would be better for egg production / dual purpose.

Edit: also are color eggs more likely with one than the other?

My buffs lay basically white eggs.

My Buffs are great large egg layers.

I think I'm just going to order the Buffs. I really like the blue/green egg color but it seems like kind of a crap shoot and the buffs don't seem to have a dramatically lower chance of laying them than say the rouen based off this table

My buffs are great! They lay white eggs and almost 1 a day until winter(which they will slow down). Not only are they great layers but they have great personality and are very fun as pets!

Thanks everyone. 15 will be arriving soon from ideal poultry 3 of which will be drakes. My father has had some problems eating chicken eggs recently so I'm hoping these allow him to enjoy family breakfasts a bit more again
