Which duck breed(s) should I get....

If you have neighbours like mine then don't get Pekins. I have 3 ducks and one drake and the pekin girl is SO noisy. She loves to let everyone know when she is hungry, thirsty, needs a swim, needs to be let out in the morning and when to go in at night...what a noise and then she starts the chickens and dogs off too.!

Beryl, my rouen duck is so sweet and so is Gwendoline, the Buff orpington. Odyssey ,the only drake and a Cayuga is raspy but fun. But Ella is the noisiest.

Muskovy's only peep or hiss. Flipper is a male with a 40" wing span - scares even the raccoons away

Darkwing only peeps when I bring treats .. she is so sweet. Ice Cream -Fish is a cross between an Indian runner and a Pekin.. she is such a talker!! When i even open the door she thinks I have treats!!

Fifi Quack is a cross between a Pekin and a Rouen... she is sweet and quiet but lays an egg every other day - I might add - it has been bitterly cold here single digits and both Ice Cream & Fifi have been laying all through this Winter. In my experience -- they quit in Fall and then start laying in the Spring.. I guess mine ( having been named by grandchildren) don't know what is expected ???. Ducks are so much fun.. a friend swears by Swedish Blues - Daisy & Rosie.. she LOVES them and they come when she calls and follow her everywhere

Good luck - I know you will enjoy any ducks you get !
