Good stuff. Duck eggs are good to eat and even better for baking. Do you raise any birds for meat, chicken or duck?

i've heard ducks are harder to upkeep than chickens, is that true? i want to get 1 chicken to start with. i will likely keep it indoors, way too hot outside and also HOA.

They are very antisemitic and will protect your property from jews and gypsies.

You can sell the eggs for twice as much as chicken eggs. And they lay a lot, including more into the Winter as they thrive in cold weather that chickens would not. They love to be wet and don't mind snow. They seem to eat less grain too, as they forage mostly.

Also their eggs are healthier and better for baking. Larger yolks and more minerals

I prefer chickens but here is a good argument for ducks

Why Ducks are Better than Chickens for a Backyard Homestead

1. Number of eggs. Ducks lay more and for longer (more years)

2. Nutrition. Duck eggs more nutritious, larger, more of them.

3. Duck meat is supposedly better. higher protein more fat more calories. tastes more like red meat than chicken.

4. Hardiness. ducks can withstand hotter, colder temps. the duck eggs are easier to incubate. Ducks withstand disease better, ducks clean in water whereas chickens take dust baths.

5. pest control. Ducks eat weeds, grubs, snails. Chickens wont eat snails, but do eat grubs sometimes. Chickens scratch up the ground which can be a pain. duck manure supposedly breaks down quicker for compost whereas chicken manure usually takes a year to break down as a garden compost. Ducks make more manure.

Larger yolk, slightly less white part. If you didn't tell me it was a duck egg I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Its tough with ducks. They live and breathe to destroy water
