[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 139193, member: 12198"] 3 adult geese are my duck security guards and protect them and my eggs very well from overhead predators. The ducks are weed eaters and bug catchers that lay eggs for us. We sell most of my sons chicken eggs and keep most of the duck eggs for baking and eating. In summer we have big gardens and the ducks make sure we don't need any pesticides because they take care of that for us. The geese make sure the ducks are safe from horrid murdering ravens while they're out. I hatch a few ducklings and hopefully this year a few goslings so hubby doesn't complain about my winter feed bill so much :) Those ducklings have have already gone to a new home where they will lay lots of eggs over the next few years. Ducks have very few diseases, lay more eggs for more years, are waaay more personable than chickens and baking with duck eggs is fabulous! But chickens sure taste good..... [/QUOTE]
