I needed this article! I've not had ducks in decades, and have been contemplating getting some. I enjoyed reading and learning a little bit more about keeping them.
Excellent points made making for a case for how rewarding they can be!
Well formatted article, would like to see some sources cited. Especially on ducks being hardier against predators - if anything, I've had a consistently opposite experience because they're not as nimble on land. So I'm curious where you heard that.
I kept ducks before I had chickens, and I'm happy to see an article that talks about the benefits of keeping them, and how they can be a better choice than chickens for some purposes!
