New to backyard farming

[Hossdog]

Hello all!

My name is Austin and my wife and I have recently started raising ducks in our backyard! Although it took some convincing of my wife, we bought 2 Pekin ducks in April, (1 Drake and 1 Female [Sugar and Honey]), and have now bought 4 more ducks (2 Blue Swedish, and 2 Silver Appleyard's, all female [Unnamed]). I have gone to this site many times looking at tips and information on new duck/chicken owners.
I look forward to asking my questions that I have, and becoming a part of the community.
Thanks!
