Hi there
Good advice to get a trio - they are relatively easy to keep, accepting that they need a safe and warm shelter, regular food and fresh water etc., Ducks don't have to have a pond - a large bucket of fresh water that they can get in and out of would do, but a pond / stream is better if possible! That will keep them in best condition. They do make a mess, and will probably trash your garden, so if you love your plants, fence them off - on the upside, they keep the slugs at bay, and they don't eat Hostas for some reason (well ours don't!)
They like to roam around if they can, and they can be noisy, especially in breeding times, depending on the type of ducks you get.
Ours eat the mixed corn the chickens have, and love it, and then they get lots from the garden too.
They need shade and shelter from wind if they are roaming.
The eggs are lovely and especially good for baking.
I cannot begin to tell you how much fun they are, and if you are ever feeling a bit blue, go and see the ducks, they will certainly bring a smile to your face......
Good luck!
