Some time last year the city came because of a noise complaint, demanding we get rid of almost all the flock and all the roosters. We had almost 10 roosters, had to get rid of all of them.

A coworker of a family member offered to give us a few ducks. We have been thinking about it for a couple weeks now, but I still have some questions.

I do not have an option to...
