Hi from Aberdeenshire  :wave:  Can't help you on the ducks as we only have Blue swedish but I'm sure you'll find lots of people on here who can help. Welcome to the forum.
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Hi from Fraserburgh-ish

The rare breed sale is on at Thainstone on 7th of Sept.  There will be plenty of ducks available and a few goats I believe.

Hi from Moray.

There's a poultry breeder near Inverurie - see:

http://www.akpoultry.com/index.html

They have a range of birds that might suit.
