I’ve had friends who raise chickens with minimal fuss, but I don’t know anyone who has raised ducks. They seem cute as hell.
Any advice for someone doing early homework about how to care for urban ducks?

they are extremely dirty so if you are providing enough water for them to swim in (which makes them happier), you will want it to be flowing or pumped water as otherwise it will be impossible to keep clean. this is the biggest hassle with keeping ducks from what I’ve heard, they are pretty chill birds. i don’t know much about feeding them etc. just picked up this advice from when my ex’s parents kept them
Yeah, the pond aspect is probably the biggest problem to solve on our little postage stamp of dirt
It had to be a huge pond, because they will fill it with dirt and muck in no time at all and ruin all your filters and pumps.
