Loud and especially with a water area, I'd consider dirtier.
Would like to have chickens, but live in the foothills with black bears. Will chickens attract the bears?
Ducks are louder and can be messy. Yeah, you city guys are more limited for sure. I think the Muskovys are pretty quiet and are good if you have neighbors. And you really don't need as much water around for ducks as some peope think, especially if you only have a few of them. They do need some though and it gets mucked up quickly and needs to be chaned often.
If you live in the foothills you will need to take precautions against all sorts of predators: hawks, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, owls, bears, dogs, etc. Good fencing is necessary, and a few strands of electrified wire would help a lot.
Having a dog or two around would be good too. Just keep them away from the birds.

From what I understand, bears generally leave chickens alone, but chickens are basically cougar/coyote/wolf/fox/eagle/hawk/falcon/owl snacks.
ETA:I'm dead. GilpinGuy was faster on the draw.

Gilpin Guy had a bear scare with his Quail earlier this year.

Hah! Totally misread that...thought you were worried about the chickens attacking the bears.

Good way to do it I suppose, lure them in and then..... COCK SLAP!
I did. I put these at the door and windows of the bird house. I don't think the bears will be a problem for the birds anymore.
Before anyone cries brutality or anything, these "unwelcome mats" are recommended by the DOW, bear management folks, etc. - as long as they are built correctly. 1/2" - 3/4" of the screw showing above the plywood on a 2" grid.
