Hi there! I am thinking of getting 3-4 ducks, probably next spring. We have about a dozen chickens, but know very little about ducks. We have just shy of 2 acres, with a large marshy pond in the back. The pond is naturally occurring and wild, and extends through several properties, but is technically not owned by anyone, even the part that sits within our property. It sometimes attracts wild ducks, but not super often.
Would it be okay to set our ducks back near the marsh and give them free-range access to it as their primary deep water source?
What breed of duck should we consider? Main goals are eggs and company.
