Ducks make wonderful pets and they lay delicious eggs. Ducks will control the insects in your garden, act as handy lawnmowers and bring you endless entertainment with their antics.
There are many breeds of duck that don't need a pond, simply a bowl of water can be enough water supply. They can live happily with other poultry and are easy to feed and keep.
To get started you will need a suitable house which is situated where you can easily let them out in the morning and shut them away at night away from foxes and other predators.
Duck houses vary in style, size and design and we sell a wide range which can be seen on our page titled duck and goose houses. Our floating duck house which you can situate on a pond keeping the ducks away from predators at night is very popular with pond owners. These floating duck houses can be anchored to the bottom of the pond or tethered to the bank. Floating duck boxes make very attractive features on the water. When considering which breed of duck you would like to keep, consider the size of bird, their looks and also egg laying capability. Some ducks are quiet while others like "call ducks" can be very noisy.
Also consider the age of the ducks you are buying as ducklings need more care than fully grown ducks. Ducklings must not be put onto a pond straight away, they need to be fully feathered and introduced to water gradually, starting with shallow water on a tray and gradually increasing the depth.
