what type of ducks should I get?

Thanks Chickens really for the feedback! Yeah, I have done some research on the Muscovy. They are probably the most silent duck breeds you can get. Thank you again!

Thank you Eggwalrus for the reply. I’m not really looking for meatbirds. So I would get the Muscovy duck for eggs. Or I moghtwould get the khaki Campbell’s for eggs.

Thank you StLCayuga for the feedback. We also have a four hens so I might have to separate them me most of the time I don’t want them to have problems. Your Cayuga seems really sweet! This reply did help me. Thank you again!

Thank you TyKyra Lancaster for the feedback! I checked we can have up to 6 ducks,chickens, or geese. I already have 4 hens so I can get 2 ducks. Also the coop has to be 35 feet away from any of my neighbors dwellings witch it is. So I should probably not get Peckins. I think I might get either a Cayuga or a Khaki Campbell. Thanks Again!

Thank You Daphne_loves_mealworms for the feedback! Do you have any Rouen Drake’s? If so, are they quieter than Daphne?

Thanks CayugaJana for the feedback! I was talking to EggWalrus about Muscovy ducks. I’m definitely thinking that if I get ducks, I would probably get Muscovy. They are quiet and, good egg layers. Thanks again!

Thanks all of you, for telling me your expirences about ducks and how loud they are and their breeds. I’m still considering about getting them something soon. Thank you again!

Thanks Mandrogora for the feedback! I haven’t considered the black Swedish duck before. Now I think they are might be good for my backyard. Thanks again!

You're welcome! I know Muscovies are quiet, but for eggs I would go with Campbells. For the year or 2 we had Muscovies, we eat at least 1 a week, and I seldom saw their eggs. They would go hide in a nest some where well hidden, then a month later they would pop up with a bunch of babies. I used to slow smoke them in a 50 gal hardwood smoker. Lord have mercy that was some good eating!
