Any suggestions on ducks? Depends on what you want them for. Khaki Campbells and Runners are great for eggs. Muscovies are great for broodies. Some people prefer bantam like calls.

Geese are great additions and can be excellent foster parents. Unless you have a large amount of land and a nice pond set up I would wait a little more on the swans
Thank you
My personal favorite duck breed is Cayuga, for the same reasons: gorgeous black with the iridescent green and blue and purple sheen, lay very well, and are a good meat duck as well if you are so inclined to eat your own birds. They are also a relatively quiet breed. My girls rarely quack at all, and when they do, they're nowhere near as loud as is the mallard cross next door. The drakes just gabble.My personal favorite would have to be the Welsh Harlequins. Gorgeous breed, lay very well, and (I'm a vegetarian, but if you eat meat) they are a good meat breed as well. Very Multi-purpose, LOL.
