Thinking of getting a goose or duck.....

If it was me I'd get a goldfish...just saying!

I've had chickens and will again, not had ducks but do know that for example mallard ducks mate for life, when one dies the other goes off and joins another pair for company. Thats why you often see three together. Very sociable and as explained above they work as a flock for protection.
