i certainly willl!!! whats there personality like? behavior?

They are very friendly ducks! Funny to watch swim in a pool and they will follow you everywhere you go! They will get attached to you quite easily!
As for behavior they do well also! Sometimes the occasional nibble at you or one that tries to get away from you picking them up, but they definitely aren't the slightest bit mean! Super nice ducks!

I love Rouens too!!

I have 3 Mallards (TSC sold me the wrong duck, thought I was getting Rouens) and they have really grown on me. But they can fly over my fenced in backyard if they want to. So if that is an issue for you then keep that in mind. The Rouens are really my favorite! Everything the above post says about them has been my experience as well.

Muscovy all the way!!! I got 4 at 2 days old they're now 2 weeks and as loving as can be! Also they are the duck breed that "don't quack" they chirp rather and the males kind of hiss (not aggressively) so they are very quiet. I live in a neighborhood too and have no problem. I love my 4 babies! My dad has 4 full grown scovy's and they are equally as friendly as mine and they we'nt nearly as spoiled as mine are

good luck

The only female rouen I have met is LOUD!!! Not quite as loud as my buff was, but she quacks her fool head off constantly.

I say get Runners! They come in many colors, are quite, and they don't fly so you won't have to worry about them flying off. Most hatcheries carry them. And they're fun! If your getting ducks then you should probably get 3 or more, sooo if you have two and one dies then the one left won't be lonely....

How many ducks are you planning on getting? And from what hatchery? (if your getting them from one)
You could get more than one breed, even if your getting just two duckers.

im planning on getting 2 duckies (if mom allows) and from metzer farms i think.

All of my muscovy ducks are VERY quiet and I have a bunch of them.
