I am new to raising chickens and ducks. I have had chickens for a year and ducks for 2 months. I was asking my sisters about chickens but they free range their girls, live out of state and I live in the city with a small backyard with no grass. Water restrictions are sometimes mentioned so we are grassless.
I am not sure of the breeds other than 1 Americana, 1 Australorp, bantams, and 2 others I have no clue about (one is small like bantams but has feathers on her feet other is bigger and dark legs, almost black.) and 2 beautiful Peking ducks.
I found you out about BackYardChickens.com when I googled questions I had about chickens.
I have challenges with my ducks, I need a better swimming area for them and figure out feeding/watering. I spend hours feeding, watering and trying to fill large containers for the Peking's to clean off (no swimming pools). I did buy a pond kit (it has a filter)but I'm clueless in setting up/making it, however I feel they need a water zone that they can swim in all the time and it be clean. They have holes all over their 12x14 foot enclosure. Suggestions welcome and appreciated.
