Turkey vs. Ducks

[TurkeyTurk]

So I'm getting ready to buy fertilized eggs for my hen to sit on, but I'm not sure if I should get turkeys or ducks. So, I originally wanted to get turkeys for her to hatch and raise and then sell all but one or maybe two depending on how many survive. However, I recently discovered some fertilized runner and harlequin duck eggs for 20 bucks cheaper. I think it would be easier to find buyers for ducks but then I couldn't really keep any of them and I don't know if my hen would be good at raising them. So my dilemma is if I should go for the ducks or the turkeys.

Turkeys because ducks are messy poop machines LOL
But a Tom turkey needs 3 or more hens
Both males are dangerous to chicken hens

Turkeys since ducks like to have water to get into.

Actually, ducks only need water deep enough that they can dip their napes into. That way they can clean out their sinuses. So your regular one gallon little giant poultry waterer would do just fine.
