What type of duck?

I just had 3 Perkins. They were bought on a whim in tractor supply when I originally went in for chicken feed. Couldn’t resist

Muscovies

If I ever get the right setup/land for ducks, I’ll probably go with Muscovy for the reasons in the post above. A little better at fighting off predators with the claw and can escape if given the opportunity. They also aren’t as noisy. They hiss instead of quack.

It probably won’t be in a “coop” setting though. More like I’ve got a pond and I’ll raise a couple ducks to maturity then release them on the pond.
