What breed?

[ILoveBabySilkies]

Hey everyone, so I’ve decided that in November I want to add 3 female ducks to my backyard flock! I’ve had two ducks before but that was a long time ago and I was pretty young so I don’t remember what it was like so I’ve been researching and I know everything I have to do to take care of them correctly the only thing I haven’t decided on was the breeds I wanted. Eggs don’t really matter to me since I already have my chickens for that although I wouldn’t complain if it’s a good egg layer, friendly these are gonna be pet ducks and that’s really it would love to hear breed suggestions!

I am partial to Runners and Welsh Harlequin for personality and eggs. If you ask 5 people you are likely to get 5 answers. Good luck!

I’ve always kept rouens and calls. Rouens are really layed back and lay good. Calls are just tiny pet ducks that make you smile. They’re escape artists though. I hope you find the ones you’re looking for!

two words, BLUE SWEDISH! I have one and she is AMAZING, super nice, funny, docile, and just PERFECT! I also have cayugas and they're not as perfect and amazing as my blue swedish but they're pretty cool! 110% suggest blue swedish though

That was actaully one I was considering looks like you just sealed the deal! I’ve come to a decision I’m going to get one Rouen, one Fawn and white Runner, and one Blues Swedish!

Definitely go with at least one runner! I have a Fawn and White Runner named Agatha and she is just the sweetest duck. Today I tripped in the grass and all of a sudden I heard duck feet. When I looked up there was Agatha less than a foot away from me with her head cocked sideways looking like "Hey are you okay?" She let me pet her and as soon as I stood up she waddled back to the rest of the flock.

So cute, I’m definitely getting one!
