My favorite duck is the one currently eatting out of my hand at any given moment.
Of course today we added 4 more Mandarin and a pair of apricot woodies to the mix. Now hubby has 3 breeding pairs of normal Mandies 1 pair of white Mandies and the woodies. It's a regular quack attack here I tell ya.
I like my pekins too and my mallards are pretty but they are soooo skittish and i spent a lot of time with them when they were ducklings. i don't know anyone who has tame mallards.
