Does anyone here have any experience raising ducks?

For a couple years now my wife has been pestering me to keep a couple
chickens in the backyard for eggs.
After doing a bit of research I'm finding that something like a campbell
khaki duck is going to be lower maintenance and can actually be allowed
into the garden for pest control without destroying the garden.
But reading about it isn't quite the same as talking to someone that's
actually done it :-).

Are you looking for eggs from the ducks? I have a friend who once
raised ducks. The eggs inside were sort of green and had a strong
taste.
