i think Pekins are the most popular...

magpies
muscovys
pekins
call ducks

 

[Goat_Walker]

I was going to say Muscovies, Calls, or RUnners were the most popular , lol. Ive never even heard negative feedback about runners and calls - except runners can be skittish.

i think that calls are the most wanted but pekin and runners are the most popular

i have blue and black swedes

I agree with greencastle, I would love to have calls but I've heard they're the perfect size for raptors and we have a lot of them. I love my runners, buff orpingtons and muscovy even though I thought I would be turned off by the red face. She was given to us and is the sweetest duck ever. I think they seem cuter because they don't make any noise. I like my pekin drake and my rouen drake because they liven things up - they're a bit scrappy, I should probably get them some girls. Gosh I guess I can't help with the favorite thing, just can't pick.

I think you're right. A lot people here seem to have Swedish as well and quite a few have Welsh Harlequins and Campbells. There doesn't seem to be very many people with the bantam breeds, like the Mini Appleyards or Aussie Spots. I also don't think anyone hardly ever posts about Saxonies, Silver Appleyards, Dutch Hookbills, or Aylesburies.

I'd have to say runners, scovies, and calls are the most popular duck on BYC. Pekins are the most popular in general I guess.

I would have to say Runners are the most common duck I have seen mentioned on here, closely followed by Muscovies.
It would be interseting to do a survey every few years to see if the popularity shifts at all over a number of years.
It may also have a lot to do with availibility. The rarer breeds are never going to get a lot of attention while it is so hard to find breeders willing to sell them.

My guess would be that muscovies are the most popular. Then runners in second.

I have swedish crosses.
