Duck Raising

[Ducklin' Raising]

I have never raised ducks although we do have chickens. I don't really know how to build a good house, what brand food to get or how to make a good pool for them to swim in. We are pretty sure we are going to get two Silver Appleyard ducks but we need some advice on how to get started.

We we're thinking of getting two Welsh Harlequins. What are the good things and bad things about this breed of duck?

Welcome to Backyard chickens. For specific duck information it would be best to check out the "Duck forum."
