New member from Illinois

Hi, Im a new land owner of a place I call paradise. I have recently added an adult male Pekin and an adult male Kacki Campbell to my pond in the back yard. I'm having a ball with them! They keep mounting and forcing each others head under water but so far no close calls- They act like buds the rest of the time and are un-separable both in and out of water. I'm considering a chicken coop etc. Thanks in advance
Larry

Nice to meet you Larry. You weren't kidding when you mentioned paradise. Wow!! Are you sure you want ducks to mess it up?
