    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    I dread the “talking to politicians” part, too. 😆 Thankfully it’s just a township board of supervisors (and I know one of them already from going to grad school with him). Our chicken ordinances changed in 2021 so I’m hopeful that since others paved the way it will be easier to add ducks to the...

    Changing Duck Ordinances: ISO Expert

    Maybe? I’ll search for some in the area. Not sure what they’d know about background duck keeping, though. But at least they’d have some idea of requirements for space, etc. Thanks! PS My daughter is named Lydia. Not one that is too popular, so I always get a little thrill when I see others...

    Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

    In my township (Lower Paxton, PA) the chicken keeping ordinance was changed last year. I spoke with the leader of that change yesterday because I am hoping to have ducks added to the ordinance (I have a chicken egg allergy, but can eat duck eggs, and believe that our 1/2 acre would be sufficient...

    Changing Duck Ordinances: ISO Expert

    That’s what I’m trying to figure out, too. She gave the example of the Beekeepers Association experts. But as far as I can see, there are no Duck Keeping Associations. There are duck HUNTING associations, but that’s not what I want… 😜 I checked under water fowl keeping, as well. Just nothing...

    My new Ducks from Metzer Farms

    Glad to hear you had a good experience with them! A friend recommended Metzer Farms and I’ve been perusing their ducklings. Great names! 🥰

    Duckie Names!

    I really want to name one of my (future) ducks Duckter Who. 😆 I am a bit of an obsessed Doctor Who fan. And since one of the Doctors was female, it’s gender neutral!

Just don’t forget to include ducks like they did! I created...

    Changing chicken ordinance in Pennsylvania

    I am near Harrisburg. Our township recently changed the chicken keeping ordinances (from one acre required to only 1/5 acre) but I am not sure how they did it. I have tried asking about how to make changes to the duck keeping ordinances, which still require 1 acre, on a Facebook group for our...

    Intro: Ducks in my future?

    Hello, all! I am currently attempting to get a variance to raise ducks on our half acre property (the township currently requires an acre to keep ducks, but only 0.2 acres to keep chickens). I have a chicken egg allergy but can eat duck eggs, so hopefully we will be allowed to get ducks for...
