I have had a number of different duck breeds over the years--- Indian Runners, Buff Orpingtons, Khaki Campbells, and now Anconas. Each breed has its own personality. I think I liked the Buff Orpingtons and the Anconas best, because their personalities are a little calmer than the Campbells, and they don't roam as far as the Indian Runners, who went all the way over to my neighbor's farm and bothered him. I was wondering what breed other people like best and why.

This might be a picture of some of my Anconas. Or not.
 
Welsh Harlequins.

They are WAY more friendly than my khakis were.
They aren't as loud as the buff I used to have.
They lay eggs like a runner.
They don't fly.
They aren't afraid of their own shadow like runners.
I like their coloring. The drakes are especially handsome.
Also they will brood their own young.
 
For a specific breed I have to say Runners as I just adore their upright stnce and how they move together as a flock. But I have had so many breeds over the years each with individuals who stood out as being exceptional for different reasons.
