Should I get more ducks or not?

[Quacking Pigeon]

Lately I've been interested in getting some more ducks for showing, using for breeding projects and to just have around to watch. Some breeds I'm thinking about getting are blue/black Swedish, welsh harlequin, Cayuga, Australian Call, and Saxony. But I'll have to make some more duck enclosures for them. What do you think about these breeds?

All the ones your interested in are gorgeous ducks so I guess it’s process of elimination or get a pair of each, do you have pics of Australian Calls?

If you plan on buying ducks for breeding/selling then I would suggest looking into call ducks. There are a whole bunch of varieties to breed and they're Very popular in the duck world. I went to a flock swap with about 11 call duck drakes I had to get rid of and sold them all for $15 ea. in about 10 mins. plus their small size makes it much easier to house them since they don't need as much space as standard ducks do.. And they're really cute too!

I love my Welsh Harlequin they are so pretty and they have pretty good personalities too.

Call ducks can be hard to find. The ones I've seen for sale are $80 a pair and they are a bit to far away, but I still may get them.

I agree! I was going to reply the same to this thread. I have tons of call ducks, they are the best and cutest lil birds!! Their spunky behavior adds to it, too
My favorite duck breed!

Australian call ducks have longer bills then the ones overseas. There's some pictures of Australian calls on shoalhavenpoultry.com.au

I raise Blue Sweds. The best ducks we have ever owned. I like them because they are larger, love people and absolutely beautiful!
