Hello all! Im thinking about getting Ancona ducks for my creek/swamp area on my farm. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they make nice pets and stay close to home. I am worried they will migrate to the lake that the creek opens into. We do not own the lake, it belongs to the city. Is there any way to make sure they stay by my creek and barn? Its a good quarter to halfmile to the lake but my mallards from last year ended up there... the creek has some pond areas but I was thinking about giving them a small swimming pool during thesummer to try to keep them around some more.
Do you think this would work? also I know there is enough food for them in the creed most of the year but ifI feed them like once or twice a day could that help keep them around?
Im looking for any help or suggestions! I really want ducks butlike I said eariler, I tried mallards (yeah I know bad choice cuz their wild) but they ended up in the lake.
thanks!!
