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 :-).

Try Guinea Hens.. They don't scratch, maintain the garden well, lay eggs
and are edible.
