Keeping Ducks in a City 

I am overwhelmed at how many views this video is getting, thank you for taking time to visit the Little Farm it means the world to me. Hugs, Miss Annette

One of our neighbor's chickens sat on six eggs they found in their barn, and when they hatched they were ducks! So now we're getting ducks, and I thank you for your video. We live in the country but I think the principles are essentially the same. These look like they're part Indian Runner, my favorites.

I love your little farm!

Ducks come to visit my place every day and they just brought their babies in yesterday. Good information. Thanks

We started with Chickens, My first two Cayuga ducks are arriving soon. I'm getting a male and female. I have to agree with your research before they are purchased. I bought my ducks from Metzger's Farm. I had a concern about foot and beak care. I live in the City. I have a Stream that runs through the property. I converted a shed into a chicken coop and used a greenhouse tent reinforced with chicken wire to give a space for the chickens to gather. It stays cooler because of screens and overhanging trees. The shed is divided to house ducks and chickens. My Niece and I built a six foot high privacy fence around the property to keep them safe from predators. Chickens were wandering outside of their boundaries to roam. I felt the fence was necessary to keep the neighborhood buffered from our pets. Another thing my Niece did was growing food sources so the birds can forage. We have a variety of elderberry bushes, blackberry bushes. We grow the veggies we feed them in garden patches. Pumpkins, canalopes, watermelons, strawberries to name a few. Our chickens love kale. Two plants supply plenty of kale for 12 chickens and 2 ducks. I can send some pictures to share our little urban farm. Thanks for sharing. It is nice to see other city dwellers proving their own food. We get a dozen of eggs per week, sometimes more. It is my sincerest wish that people are empowered to have small urban farms to provide a safe alternative to mass produced foods. Our eggs have a better taste because large poultry farms provide basic feed. Our birds have a variety. I feel we raise our birds with love and that gives a healthier food supply. We take care of them, and in turn, they provide us with safer food sources.

hello... nice to meet you. i like watching your videos. because i also have peking duck. mojosari duck and bali crested duck.

Very beautiful ducks, I have 5, 4 rouen and one pekin

You are so sweet!!! Love your farm and your love for the beautiful animals you have! I have chickens and ducks too and love them both. I also have mustangs and they are all so different but magical in their own ways!!!😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

oooh your farm is totally my aesthetic! I wish I had a place like yours

I enjoyed this video I just got 4 ducklings 2 mallards and 2 Pekins and that’s right they are super cute fun to watch them and indeed they are so messy

Hi, I’ve had my pet ducks for almost 4 years now….you’re right, ducks are very messy! We hatched them during Covid stay home time…and do enjoy their silliness! Your ducks are really pretty!! We have cattle and often times raise pigs (who are also a bunch of fun!) but my ducks are just 2 little sisters who love each other and make me happy. I sure enjoy seeing yours….keep an eye on the water/ food situation….I get not wanting the mess, but they really do need water by their food. I’m sure you’ve noticed they will always eat and wash it down. In fact you’re never supposed to have feed down for them unless they have water….you seem really sharp and I’m sure you’re ten steps ahead of me, just thought I’d mention it. Love your video and seeing your ideas!! I am a new subscriber

Greetings from Africa, you are doing great work. God bless you.

Miss Annette I think you are an adorable person, thank you for sharing your lovely animals with us all. I have a couple of goats and my husband and I are planning on raising Khaki Campbell ducklings next spring. Right now we continue to research on their housing and their overall care before they arrive. You are so right when you said that research is needed before bringing animals home to live with you. I couldn’t agree with you more. I just discovered your channel today and I am subscribed!!!! 😀

Just found your chanel and enjoyed the time spent with you. I am an English man living in Azerbaijan lol on a small home stead with chicken's ducks geese rabbits and dogs and cats

Thank you 🙏 mummy from 254 ❤❤❤

I had runners and the neighbors loved them as they ate all the snail LOL and eggs are so good to eat and bake with, I never had trouble selling the eggs, I got rid of my duck do to the mess they make and Like pigs make mud holes, Now just hens and a pair of geese, geese need water but don t make mud holes

Subbed.. I have ducks too, very similar situation..,I have so many questions for you! I’m going to watch all ur videos now. I’m so glad I found ur video! 🪿🪿💕

This is awesome 🤩. I had a micro farm when I was active duty While stationed in Florida. My co workers thought I was nuts lol. I used to give quail eggs to the filipina ladies at work. Thanks for the motivation to start urban farming again. I love your channel. Keep em coming 😁

the heck they don't fly, lol try again on that one! mine gets 5' high and uses it as a way of avoiding me when let out of the pen sometimes.

Thanks for the great video. I’m considering getting three runner ducks for fun companion and good character building for my young kids. How often do you clean out the duck house? I have a fenced space about 100 x 100 feet in the DC metro area.

Hey there! I this is my first video of yours that I've watched and I love your style already! Can I ask (and sorry if this is a silly question) do you know if the water used for the duck's baths can be reused for the garden? I wouldn't begrudge the ducks their baths but I would love not to 'waste' the water, as I am living in Australia and water usage is quite a concern!

I'd honestly have to ask....what do your neighbors think? Or do you get any feedback from them?

May I ask where you found the tray you put under the feeder?

hey, I am interested in buying a duck what do you think I would need to look after one and is there a way to domesticate them, also is it possible to raise them in a house in a city? thanks

Do you rake the yard daily for all the poop? Or have a poop scooper

I'm curious about what the bamboo teepee is used for.

HI

How cute was this! Enjoyed watching with my little toddlers. Thank you miss Annette!

Ur wlcm dia

Do the ducks lay egg without a male?

It looks like they are all girls? I don't think I seen any curly tails? Lol

That's in a city ? really ??? misleading !

I love this video Miss Annette and you have a lovely channel!

Just subscribed. You seem like a sweet soul, and I love your beautiful lil farm

Thanks so much. ❤
