so, I am planning on getting some ducks in the near future. I have chickens presently. But, have always wanted ducks. I absolutely love ducks
right now, we are cleaning out the pond, was full of bull rush , FULL !!!!!
It is a nice size pond, not a lake, but, lots of swimming area.
I just don't know what breed to get.
suggestions. This is what I am looking for,
good egg layers
broodiness
popular with the people (to sell, if hatch ducklings)
non flighty.
non aggressive (with each other) (or close to)
not as messy
cute and adorable (
)
oh and likes to be cuddled too, haha.
and is their a link to house ideas for them.
I want to let them in the pond during the day, and lock them at night. I want them to be able to access their run and home during the day if they need to evade a predator.
I am planning on putting the coop beside the pond.
I am however not interested in muscovies, Indian runner.
I am liking the appleyard(??), the cayuga, the magpie ....
let me know what your suggestions are.
thanks
