Hi everyone! I've been thing about getting a couple of ducks this spring ,if I can convince my mom that duck eggs are safe to eat
. And I just have some questions on breeds and care.
1- we live in the country, so noise isn't much of a problem. But we have to have a breed that can be kept in a pen (like 10ft by 10ft) because of foxes, eagles/hawks, raccoons, and dogs. I'm also looking for a sweet tempered and/or affectionate breed. I was thinking about Pekins but was also just wondering if there where any other good breeds.
2- what kind of housing do they need? Could I just take a dog house and raise it up off the ground a bit?
I'll post more questions as they pop up! Thanks!
