Which part? I'll try to help.
If you have non Pekin ducks- you need a permit, you may or may not need a permit for Muscovies as they are not covered by this particular rule and Muscovie regulations are being
to get a permit you must have a disaster plan (in case of mandatory evacuation), and an enclosed pen and/OR pinioned birds (depending on where you live and the current population of native wild ducks).
You must also have records of where your birds came from, and if you sell- where they are going, also births and deaths.
These records are simple and can be handwritten, just the name and license number (recommended to get address and phone number too) of who you buy from and sell to- also keep a page that list hatches(date and number) and another page with deaths(date and guess to why).
The FWC has the right to inspect your 'facility' (where the birds are kept) as part of the permit.
there are specific rules about how often a pen must be cleaned and how to clean and what to do with waste.
mine happends to flood about ankle deep(unfortunately). But if I can get a hold of some cement, and 2 old gutters(think I spelled that wrong) I can fix that issue AND have autmatic water refilling, something which I have been wanting to do for a while.
