We have a beautiful lake where we free ranged ducks. They were very easy to raise but the coyotes got every duck over a period of 1 year. After that we went with chickens, free range, and got them up every night to keep them safe. They were a little bit more trouble but worked out a lot better for us.

From my experience chickens are eaiser because with ducks you have to allways have a source of water for them to swim in and they need a whole lot of land to fly and waddle around. Chickens you just have to have a coop and get feed and water and plus they have an endless supply of eggs

Ducks are not eaiser because ducks move around to much and can easily fly away unlike chickens yea they are noisy but ducks are louder and chickens cant fly like ducks
