Ancona Ducks
OK - one thing I didn't mention is that I am planning to keep them in a moveable cage that is about 5x12 feet in size unless I am around at which time I will let them roam the yard. Do you think the cage will provide the ducks with enough space to try to evade the drake or is it too confining?- wildnature

I am planning for a small mixed flock of chickens and ducks. I've had 2 Mallard ducks in the past and was planning to go with more until I heard about Ancona ducks. I am interested in them, in part, because of their rare status but I don't know that I will have time and room to breed them...- wildnature
