He'd periodically attack any and everybody. I had to continually show him who was boss, lest I turn my back and he flog me. He put a hole in my eldest's leg through pants. He also caused to much ruckus in the pen with other chickens as well. He was just a bit too rowdy. He’d periodically attack any and everybody.

Ducks don't require water, just like it. What I've heard is that geese need the water to dip their heads into in order to lubricate their eyes. You have to have water for geese, so I’m told.

We had a young dog that loved to "play" with our chickens. Her play was so rough, though, that she killed three of them. After that,(not to mention chewing up one of my belts, a pair of boots and the trampoline padding, among other things) she, too, had to go. :-) I'll be interested to hear how your ducks do. I've wanted to get a few ducks myself but haven't done it yet. I've been told by some that geese would be a better option, so I may end up getting a few of those.
