I have a few chickens in our backyard in the city. I would love to add a few ducks but I would like advice on whether my yard is too small. Part of it is already taken up by a fenced garden and the chicken yard. We have a teeny tiny pond (like 3x3) they could use to take a dip but really isn't big enough for swimming. Would I need to provide something else? (watering trough was a thought)
Are backyard ducks a bad idea in the city? What kind of space do they need to be happy?
My wish list was:
Some eggs - a lot isn't necessary but winter laying a plus.
A breed that will not fly out of our yard.
Relatively quiet.
I guess I'm asking someone to talk me out of it and stick with chickens!
