    First chickens, now ducks, turkey and geese.

    Here is a pic of there little temporary pond. They sure are loving it, once they get a little bigger they can go to our big pond (a little over a acre and 14 feet deep). We have 4 khaki Campbells, 4 Toulouse geese 8 white ducks (peking mabye), and 5 burboun red turkeys, to go along with our (large) flock of chickens. I think right now we have about 35 laying hens, 2 grown roosters, and about 60 young chickens of different ages.

    Thanks, I think they may be mix bred. They have some brown on them.

    probably not as much fun, and certainly not as challenging, but DEFINATELY a lot easier procuring meat for you than hunting.

    Looking good Helo

    If anything ever happens I don't want to rely on hunting. The game are going to be extinct with all the people on the planet trying to eat them.

    My favorites are Rouen and Muscovy ducks. Mandarins are really nice but they are a small duck and pretty pricey at $55/pair when you can find them. Runners are also pretty cool fowl. An ex-wife and I raised them for several years. Duck eggs are also very tasty, with a different flavor than hen fruit.

    Going to be a while before we get any eggs from them.
