    Digby and Matilda were our duck's names!
    And my sister had a drake called Fergus.

    When we were young, our ducks were called Dirt and Squirt! For obvious pooing reasons!
    Not helpful I know, but thought I would share... And it gave me a nice smiley memory thinking about it thank you

    Beckoes - According to law here, you only need 0.3 metres square per chicken (0.5 for ducks), and there are no rules about how far away they have to be from the fence or backdoor, so with a tractor or if you let them out occasionally you don't need that much space.

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'll forward them to naming management aka DD and see which one we come up with.

    Thanks to a comment by Beck saying no2. duck looked like she was wearing a hat, in combination with Junglemum's suggestion of needing a "Miss" we have our name.

    Say hello to Jemima Puddle Duck and Miss Kippah (a Kippah being a Jewish Skull-cap). Thank you for all your suggestions. I also really like Fergus for when we get a Drake.
