You're assuming I'm doing anything tomorrow which I'm not. I'm just trying to figure out what I want when I get there. There's nothing wrong with a little research and planning!

Get ducks and feed them corn. They will come back every year.

Damnit, I wore sandals last time and had the heavy ass entertainment center fall on my foot.

As usual, you are counting your chickens before you get your ducks in a row.

I'm doing neither. I'm brainstorming, out loud!

Pixie I've had both as pets when I was living in LaPlata... ducks are cuter and quite friendly (at least Pekings are), they'd let me pick them up and pet them, etc.. and they followed me EVERYWHERE However, they are MESSY. If you have water for them it will need to be changed frequently as they like to dip their food in water to eat it... also it's true about them chitting every 7 seconds... if they are close to the house, then you are trackign in all this unsanitary "chit" into the house.

Chickens make for great pets and would get my vote because they are less needy and less maintenance. They make for great pets - but not soo great if you get a male and have neighbors or get one that crows all day. Also the female hends willgive you eggs you can use for cooking. The only use I found for duck eggs was for baking cakes or a meatloaf where the consistance was a little different and lots of yoke.

Most important with both of these animals is to make sure it is safe at night from opposums, foxes and other critters. The chicken will roost itself up off the ground safely, however with the ducks I had lock them in a big enclosure everynight for their safty.

Good luck
