I'm looking at getting several ducks for egg production. Living in Juneau, winters aren't too harsh, but from what I've read ducks are much more resistant to cold weather than chickens. The zoning for our house lets us have 3 birds without requiring a permit (any more and we would be looking at $500 all told. A little over the top, but so be it). At this point I'm looking at Pekin ducks, given what I've read about their size, temperment, and egg production. Is there anyone here who raises ducks who could steer me in the right direction for getting more info before I commit to this?
Thanks.
