What ducks should I get?

You could get a pair of Mallards or a pair of Pekins with your Welsh Harlequins! Even a black Swedish and a blue Swedish would be a really pretty variety on color! I highly recommend Call ducks though! I have 3 outside and one inside, not only are they smart and beautiful, they are incredibly loving! They really are the most wonderful pet ducks! :)
 
I like my welsh harlequins, Cayuga, white layer and my runners a lot :) I like all of them. I would reconsider getting a drake unless you are trying to hatch out ducklings. To me, they aren't worth the trouble unless you need them. If you are dead set on getting a drake be aware that 2 females may not be enough for him. It may work out just fine but of not make sure you can add more females if needed.

they sound very interesting but how loud are they?

Don't get me wrong, their call is what they originated for. With that being said, mine really aren't that loud. I have two boys and a girl outside as well as a girl inside (I hatched her, she's my other three's daughter) The only time my outside calls really make any sound is when I am coming to see them and my inside call, when she wants me to pick her up :)

Boy, I wish mine were quiet, hehe! But despite that, I'd never raise any other breed. After seeing those chubby cheeks and affectionate nature, I'm completely hooked on calls.

If I ever have enough room for non-laying ducks, I'm so getting a call duck or two. They are ADORABLE.
 
Yes, Kaessa! You should definitely get a pair of Calls to add to your beautiful flock! :)

If I had the patience (and the time) for a house duck, it would definitely be a call. I love them so.

Unfortunately for me, outside ducks are limited to 6 ducks, and for me to justify ducks to my husband they have to be laying eggs. He's a big softie, though, so even when they get too old for eggs we'll still keep them. He adores them. Hopefully by then we'll have a bit more land where we can actually keep a larger number of ducks!
