My step-daughter says 'don't have ducks - they smell really bad'.  I guess she knows somewhere where they weren't looked after well enough?

[Kate and her Ducks]

but they poop soooooo much 

True but that is probably why all my veg grows so well (providing the ducks don't get in and eat it)! They also saved me a fortune in potting compost this year as their mucky bedding composts down so brilliantly. They also mow the lawn for me and eat any slugs and snail!  I don't know how anyone manages to garden without ducks!!!
