I have not found a thread on duck breeds other than Muscovies. I have a flock ( all rescued except for Jake, the one and only!) of 8 and I would be interested in hearing about everyone elses. I have :
4 Campbells ( Jake-female, Bubbles- female, Honey-female Bruiser- blind male)
1 Magpie (Domino- female)
1 Pekin (MoneyPenny- female)
2 Runners (Doris- blue female, James- black male)

I do live in a residential neighborhood, but building stopped after my husband and I moved into our home last December. We do not have any neighbors for a good block in one direction. In all other directions there is no one at all.
When we moved in, we only had Jake, Bruiser and Bubbles. Since then, we have rescued the rest. I have been raising ducks with my husband since 2006. I will admit the girls can get rowdy when it's snack time, but I could not give them up if my life depended on it. So for now, they stay :)
I would be interested in doing the next Tour De Coop.
There has been a little about Khaki Campbells as well. I had a trio for a little while that I hatched from eggs from another PPG member that had some but had to rehome them due to noise. Are you in a residential area? I'd love to have some Indian Runners but on a 1/5 acre lot with chain link between me and my neighbor the noise from ducks was a bit much. If it was limited to hours when the sun was up that may have been okay; it was all the 3am quacking that made me go to muscovies.
