Hello! New here & new to the idea of owning ducks!
We were actually considering getting our ducks in the next few weeks, but now I'm worried that isn't the best idea.
We live in CT and its starting to get cold here, I know that we would have to keep our ducks inside for a while, but at what age can they handle the cold?
We are still in the beginning process, still trying to figure out the best place in our yard. We have a small gazebo that we don't use. We were thinking about turning that into their coop, but worried that maybe it will be too big? We would fence in the area which would include a garden for them, lots of worms!
I'm going to ask this flat out, are ducks really THAT messy? My plan would be to keep their pool near, but not inside their area all the time. They would be able to use it daily, just not 24/7. Is this Ok?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, the good, bad & the ugly. Please share it all!
