We raise a single breed of duck - Blue Swedish.
Have had different breeds in the past, but we enjoy keeping the Blue Swedish ducks. They are cold tolerant, lay large whitish colored eggs, go broody, GREAT foragers, and are beautiful animals.
We have several breeds of chickens, but I have been seriously considering downsizing to one breed in a couple of years.
It would be the Sussex.
Reasons: Good layers, Lovely speckled feather pattern, cold tolerant, will lay through winter, Very friendly, Great foragers, chatty (we like this trait), moderately broody, and all of the Roos we’ve raised and kept have been excellent protectors of their flocks.
