Sorry to hear about your troubles...my understanding is that most areas have a limit on how many critter per acre....if you are over the 'limit' then you should be seeking an exception.....the citation should have a reason the neighbor has complained....an exception could be allowed if the reason the neighbor complained is flawed/incorrect.....if you have other neighbors who like your ducks, get them to write a letter supporting you....(my two cents, and I am not a lawyer)....hope this helps.....Yes, I received in the mail a citation and photos that were taken of the ducks and 1 dog turd oh they also took pics of my duck house, which is as clean as a duck house can be after a few days. This is a not so good pic of my backyard and the Gray Duck house.
That house is gorgeous! I can't believe you somebody would cite you for that. It looks liked outage a lot of care to raise your animals well.Yes, I received in the mail a citation and photos that were taken of the ducks and 1 dog turd oh they also took pics of my duck house, which is as clean as a duck house can be after a few days.

Welcome to BYC!
hahaha, you be real funnymy pap just uses a soup bowl with beer and it works
I've heard that ducks are awesome for snails and slug problems. Soooo... get ducks. Or more ducks
your setup in beautiful..and clean looking to me...i am glad to hear you have found a way to have them, legally...i truly hope your neighbor issues are resolved in a good way...hopefully your neighbor will see the better/friendlier side to issues and you can have a much more conducive relationship...maybe offer some duck eggs or something?...just a thought..(i have many of them,..thoughts,.. most go unannounced, i have found i stay out of more trouble that wayThe sad part is that I had a good relationship with my neighbor I'm not sure why she didn't talk to us about her concerns. My boyfriend went to Code Enforcement today and they told him that they will not follow up on it but if we could at least re-home the Mallards that would be helpful. He also suggested "but without really saying", my Pekins can belong to another family member but stay with me, in other words I can't own more then one but if the other ducks belong to someone else then whose to say.... . And finally, he asked were the Pekins considered Therapy Pets, "BINGO", yes they are or at least that what my physician is going to put in writing.
