I live just outside of southern maryland in PG county, I see people in brandwine with chickens all the time but no ducks though I did meet a woman at the tractor store down in white plains who said she owns pekin ducks. I myself just started with 4 khaki Cambells, I'd like to keep chickens too but with only .25 acre and cranky neighbors I don't know if I could take the risk . I'd really like to move into St Charles county or Brandywine, the houses in st charles are selling like hot cakes though!
