Ducks
Ducks are an excellent choice for the homestead or backyard as they are hardy birds and excellent foragers that do well on pasture. Ducks lay abundant, large eggs and also provide excellent meat. Keeping a flock of ducks is very easy but there are some considerations to keep in mind regarding their care, housing, health, and feeding we should explore. Check out my post on ducks versus chickens, and my breed profiles on the breeds we keep on our own homestead: Muscovy, Saxony, Silver Appleyard, Cayuga.
