Yep My house is actually average though. My dad says something like 1,900 square ft, I think. Right now I live with my parents and brother but it's my dream to move into a slightly more rural place (I'm in the suburbs) and have 10+ acres and a 2 story house. I want a yard a lot like this one though so hopefully it'll have a pond and woods too. Land around north Florida like Yulee, Callahan, Middleburg etc is actually quite cheap, I've heard only $1000-$2000 per acre so it won't be too expensive.
Thanks. I feel very lucky to live in Florida. If I lived anywhere else I doubt I'd have a pond. Florida is full of retention ponds so it's easy to find a house with one in the suburbs.
They come occasionally, mostly in the winter. I love when they come but they do eat fish so I guess it's a good thing they aren't here more often. But 7 muscovies live here who are quite tame, they're kinda my pets, and mallards are often here too.
Ducks can actually be in smallish yards without a pond (a kiddie pool works great for ducks), a lot of people think they need loads of room and a pond. Many people even keep them indoors.
The only problem is predators We have lots of predators here so I keep my ducks in a big dog kennel thats predator proof. And Scout, Dill, and Will come indoors as well.
A stray mother duck that used to live here. She got killed by a raccoon or fox back in the summer while sitting on another nest of eggs She had 25 ducklings at once!
I think 7 survived to adulthood, and then a few of them are still alive. They still live in my yard, along with a few ducks who were born in spring of 2010 I love them.
