Nope, I live in the suburbs, right next to a big lake, so ducks are everywhere anyway. On the other hand, chickens are banned so I'm guessing waterfowl are technically against the rules as well.

They're pretty fun but man do they poop a lot.
They are veryyyy messy. I keep my little ones in a big rubbermaid tub with a timothy hay floor and transition them outside at about a month old to reduce cleaning. Their pen has a concrete floor so I can spray it down with a hose, but they do their business all over the yard which is somewhat unavoidable. Good fertilizer though!
