Quack Companions – Should You Keep Ducks as Pets?

Are ducks good pets? Can you really raise them just for companionship—not for eggs or meat? In this video, we take a deep dive into the surprisingly charming world of ducks as pets. From cuddly ducklings to full-grown feathered friends, we’re exploring what it really takes to keep ducks purely for joy, not production.

We’ll walk you through the best duck breeds for companionship (like the friendly Pekin, the quirky Muscovy, and the playful Rouen), what daily care looks like, and whether indoor or outdoor duck life is best. We’ll also cover the pros and cons of duck ownership—because while ducks can be affectionate and fun, they’re also extremely messy.

Whether you’re a homesteader, hobby farmer, animal lover, or just duck-curious, this guide is packed with honest, experience-backed insights to help you decide if ducks belong in your life—not just in your pond.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a duck could be your new best friend, this one’s for you.
