My Welsh Harlequin ducks from Metzer farms are very calm and quiet. I have one that is sort of shy, but the others are friendly and eat out of my hand and greet me with cute little quiet squeaky sounds... I can't explain it, but I love the sound! They are wonderful duckies.
Do you have other duck breeds to compare them to? I'm interested myself in a female WH from Metzer. I know a few Cayugas from Metzer which are pretty calm and very quiet, and I know one Buff who is louder and also pretty calm, but also more alert and--it seems--intelligent than Cayugas.
If you or anyone else can compare-and-contrast different breeds from Metzer, that would be awesome. (Our young ducks have been great so far and laid daily last winter, but this winter are not laying at all...so thinking about getting another one!)
