15 ducklings I didn't count right or take into consideration I got 4 packing peanuts. I'm so stupid and infected with duck mania of some kind. Just two weeks ago I was trying to get rid of my last 3 now I have 15 new ones. They are hard to count with the zoomies.

Ok what's a non poultry backyard flock? Tiny little cows?

I can only assume that if you are selling any bird product it is considered a poultry flock.
If you keep the birds just for your joy its non-poultry.

But let's ask Shit-GPT: »A non-poultry chicken flock may be described as a modest gathering of fowls not devoted to the grand enterprises of commercial husbandry, be it for the provision of meat or the plentiful laying of eggs. Such a collection of feathered companions is oft maintained for purposes of personal delight, the pursuit of amateur farming, or the exhibition of rare and noble breeds.

These humble assemblages stand apart from the great flocks of industrial repute, whose multitudes labor beneath the banner of commerce. Instead, they serve as quaint adornments to rural estates or suburban retreats, cherished for their charm rather than their yield.«

Below is a video of my complainer ducks. During the summer they complain that it is too hot around the house and that their huuumon is to slow, filling the water bowls.
Now they sit in the coldest spot of the whole property, the rim of the pond where the ice cold north-wind, beaming straight out of Canada from the polar circle is blowing at full strength - and complain again.

The thermometer has fallen from the shelf down to the desk and is now showing -2°(28F)
 
Blanca Duck's disappearance has really de-motivated me today, but i started to dig-up the veggie bed, that is full of Asian-bug larvae before the frost. I wasn't planning on finishing the whole bed today, but the Mr. Boots brought in his five Support-Ducks:

I will be in so much pain tomorrow! - I dug through the whole bed today, 16m² (172sqft) and it is still heavy loam in some parts. We found earthworms the size of small snakes and the ducks spreaded their fertilizer generously.
 
The twin AI found an even better definition of a non-poultry chicken-flock: »Hark ye, good sirs, what of these feathered folk, these hens, not bred for profit, for the plumping of the market basket or the yielding of those pearly eggs? These are not, in the strictest sense, of the poultry sort, though their kind be kin to the pullet and the cock. Nay, these be kept for solace, for the delight of the eye, perchance for the curious display, or simply for the companionship of their feathered souls.«

Well, there are worse addictions than being a duckoholic. Imagine being addicted to geese, swans or [shiver] Ostriches…
