Can I keep Peking duck in the backyard in Florida Orlando.

I live in Florida Orlando(Orange County). My son hatched 3 little baby Peking ducks. Can I keep them in my back yard . If not, where can I send them to?

Hello and Welcome to Back Yard Chickens. Glad to have you here in this poultry loving community. Orange county has gone from farm land to entertainment land so I don't know anymore. I used to drive through there when it was dairy and beef cattle land and Highway 27 was only 2 lanes. I think you need to inquire with code enforcement for your area. I really believe ducks are allow if kept in your own yard where chickens many not. That's just a hunch.

Welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining us.
I would call City Hall and see what the law is on keeping ducks and other poultry.
