I can't order Anconas from Cackle Hatchery since they claim they can not ship any duck species to Florida besides Pekins.

Courtesy of facist State of Florida trying to wipe Muscovey ducks from the State and our backyards.

Unbelievable but true check it here: http://www.cacklehatchery.com/page15.html scroll down to: " What states have restrictions on mail order poultry orders? "


So my only hope od acuiring any ducks besides Pekins are hatching eggs.

We are living in Facist State folks!

Obviously Anconas as a medium size duck needs to consume more food to suatain itself than a light Campbell.

As for noise, beside Muscovies all ducks quack, there are numerous and sometimes contrary opinions as which breeds are more or less noisy, I believe it may also depent on an individual, and/or particular enviroment may affect it too.

Anyway for most noisy duck my vote is for Pekins.

"Harsh" reply ????

Could you elaborate further what is "harsh" in my reply? I just voiced my toughts and comments as the thread develops after getting input from others. I did not express any disagrement, arguments or criticism of your thoughts. You know more about Anconas than I do and I started the thread to learn more about them.

Gosh, I feel this forum is turning into kindergarden, seems that only unconditional praise and hand holding is encouraged and appreciated, is there any room left for more elaborate subjects and discussions regarding breeds, managment, diseases etc?
