What breeds should I get?

[Corbdee]

What is IMO?

Sorry...in my opinion

 

[SolarDuck]

Oh yeah and Muscovys are always the quietest, calmest ducks and they’re one of the only ones that are almost sure to go broody. IMO the only reason I don’t like them is bc they’re not the absolute prettiest in the world.

pssssh they absolutely are the prettiest smh

Khaki Campbell’s lay the most eggs by far, jumbo Pekins are huge but they have health problems 99% of the time because they are big, mallards, Rouens, Cayugas, khaki Campbell’s, Pekins, welsh harlequins, Swedish and pretty much every duck is friendly, welsh harlequins and mallards are beautiful IMO, Swedish are very good layers as well, ummmm oh yeah and ducks with crests are absolutely gorgeous but their crests make them extremely sensitive to anything that will pull it

Thanks! That is a big list! I will look into those!

I'm not sure if Wood ducks would do ok with the bigger domestics. Is there a way you could keep them separate?

Awesome list! Wood ducks would be super cool! Though I would be worried about them flying off, but if they're gonna be in an enclosed run shouldn't be an issue. They definitely won't be nearly as friendly as the domestics though. If you are planning on getting a bunch throw a few Muscovy in just because their behavior really is so much different than other ducks and they are super fun to watch. Runners are always adorable too!

Swedish, Rouen, runners, and khaki Campbell’s would be good for your needs. For the friendliness part, out of all the ducks I’ve ever had my Pekins are the by far the friendliest.

Lol! My wood ducks are the tamest ducks I've ever had. My hen nibbles my ankle until I pick her up and rub her crest.
