I've had friends who raise chickens with minimal fuss, but I don't know anyone who has raised ducks. They seem cute as hell.

Any advice for someone doing early homework about how to care for urban ducks?

In addition to the messiness and water access requirement, you need to be prepared to protect their little feetsies. The webbing on their feet will be injured by any rough surface (concrete, rocks, rubble). You have to either keep them away from any rough urban-type surfaces or put little boots on their little feet.

put little boots on their little feet.

Please put a tiny red scarf around their neck too
