thinking about getting ducks.

[SLWyandotte]

i'm thinking about getting ducks and would like some advice on raising them. no water before 6 weeks i have picked up. but are there any thing special i would need to do for ducks?

also flying is an issue. we have wild mallards and wood ducks close by. what are the non-flying breeds? or the flying one which ever is the shorter list.

and can different breeds be brooded together? will they bond with each other normally? how can i get them to imprint on me if they are from a hatchery?

sorry for all the questions. just don't want to get a bunch of babies and kill them from ignorance or them be miserable.

I would suggest getting a book. This should answer all of your questions.
