re: Educate Me on Neighborhood Backyard Chicken Coop

We also have ducks, we initially kept them in a fully enclosed run with a pool in it. They make chickens look like they are the cleanest animals on earth. Once they got to the right age we let them go into the pond.

We have 5 Peking. Had 3 mallards (GSP got 2), and 2 gray something or another.

They are fun in the pond and a lot louder than the chickens. They get on my nerves while I'm fishing the pond though. They lay about an egg a day, but we only have 3 females.

Funny story, the day my GSP got the 2 mallards I was sitting out back that night grilling. They waddled their arse all the way from the pond up by the grill and surrounded me. They were like , uhh help!
