Duck is a sweetheart,Khaki Campbell, and lays eggs for many years,unlike the retired pet chickens who really arent much after 2 seasons.But such sweet Girls,thats a fact.
Between the 2,will get ducks when chickens pass on (chickens can live a decade or more,Oh Joy...sarcasm...and mine are healthy healthy).Ducks far better egg layers over time if you arent into butchering.
Hint-Duck eggs are a secret ingredient to French cooking.
We butchered chickens once,that was enough "And tonight we are having Gimpy for dinner" doesnt cut it :{
Now Turkies...get the hatchet! They are ready to butcher in 13 weeks and arent cute at all compared to chickens you can get attached to in our experience.
Best chicken I ever had was a skinny little Leghorn,egg machine, and SWEET,they arent supposed to be sweeties but she was,Dam raccoon killed her,GRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I miss that bird,she was such a keeper.
