Hi there! Currently we have no animals and have been considering ducks as my daughter and I have chicken egg allergies and tried duck eggs about a month ago and can eat them... wahoo! Therefore the idea of raising our own ducks for eggs came about as our 3 girls are dying to have an animal... why not kill 2 birds with one stone right? Well after doing a lot of research I have a lot of pros and a Some cons, the main one being how messy ducks are. We just moved to our house last September and since we own a landscape company we had it re landscaped and it's beautiful so the idea of ruining it with messy ducks and duck poo makes it hard... especially for my husband to swallow. So... In all honesty is there a way to not have ducks so messy? I wanted to get khaki campbells and our local Co-Op is getting some ducklings in tomorrow and I can't decide whether to go for it or not. I don't want to be in over my head but also don't want our yard smelling or covered in duck poo. A lot of me wants to go for it for all the pro reasons but again I'm hesitant with how much work they could possibly be because we also home school so I don't want to take on more than is possible. Any thoughts from those who have ducks? Input would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Maybe ask on the duck forum -
