Anyone near Middleburg? I would love to meet some fellow chicken lovers close to my neighborhood so I have someone besides my husband to talk to about my babies (chickens)!

I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right place or not. I’m in Jacksonville, I live in a residential zoned neighborhood. Are ducks (specifically Pekin) allowed? I have read what feels like the entire city ordinance and can not find my answer. I am permitted and own chickens, but need to know about the ducks. Thanks.

You're correct. The ordinance doesnt mention ducks nor other fowl; they are not allowed in residential areas. The ordinance is for chickens only. It was like pulling teeth from a newborn baby just to get the wording correct and getting the ordinance passed through all the committees, then presented before city council for a vote.
I was there at the city council meetings and even spoke before the council members as did others. It passed, but needed the mayor to sign off on it and thankfully he did after his office was flooded with phone calls.
That said, there are neighbors behind me who own quail. A neighbor not far from us has a rooster (none of this is legal as you know.) I also know folks who own more than 5 hens.
If you have decent neighbors such as we have (giving neighbors fresh eggs helps,) and as long as they dont complain about noise and dont build your coop on the property line (5' set back,) and keeping it to yourself etc...no one will know you have duck(s.)
