What breed is my duck ? educated guesses welcome

What size are their eggs?

We eat a lot of eggs (we excluding me because I'm a plant based weirdo)

Bantams are nice, only thing I don't like about mine is they can fly over the fence. One flew into the chicken pen yesterday and is impossible to catch. After about 10 hours it remembered how it flew over. I really dislike when people sell chickens that have zero human interaction. It's like owning a wild bird.

My run is covered so not my problem here. Mine are all easy to catch.

My eggs would be considered small but definitely good eating eggs.

We have about 4,000 square feet that is fenced in by deer fencing just to keep out the neighbors dogs who attacked my last flock. We are increasing it to double the size in the next few weeks and adding in a duck area with a pond.

Oh well I definitely won’t go that big. I just keep my selected birds.

I only have 10 chickens and 5 ducklings, but we do get two new birds every time a chicken swap is near us or TSC has ducklings

I just recently lost an OEGB hen because she preferred the outside to the fenced side. I don't have a pen just their houses and treed 1/2 acre for mine inside a no climb horse fencing with barb wire around the top. My only chickens to fly over are my OEGB and I am down to 3 now.

I haven't lost any so far due to them flying off The ones I have lost were mostly chicks... One was a chick that disappeared, my OE passed away for unknown reasons a few days ago it broke me in two (I think it was egg laying issues that couldn't be fixed), and a black snake killed a chick one night...

I've been lucky so far. A hawk was looking at my duck area today so I put up fishing line and told it that it won't be having a meal at our farm today.

Never ending isn't it? Always a pred or something else.

I wish I could put up fishing line but our property is full of large trees which makes it impossible I do have predator tape allover making it look like Tacky world. Seems to help though. So sorry about your OE. I lost a chick to a black snake this year too. Over night he hid out inside the coop we got him the next day but it was too late.
