Duck quackery that is. Have you ever given any thought to raising ducks in your back yard?

Think it sounds far-fetched? Not at all! In fact to the newly raised generation of eco-friendly citizens it is as normal as apple pie.

In fact, many suburbanites are already raising chickens.

We think ducks are better and we can tell you why at:

Have you ever given any thought to raising ducks?  Many urban families have begun raising chickens in the back yard but have by-passed adding ducks to the mix.
There seems to be an impression that ducks are more difficult to keep than chickens.  While we aren’t sure how that myth came to be we can debunk it.
Ducks are every bit as simple to raise as chickens.  And, have you ever had a fresh egg?  We mean a really fresh egg, one that is still warm from the duck!  Duck eggs are also usually larger than chicken eggs.

Eating a fresh duck egg is an experience everyone should enjoy.  A fresh egg looks like it was fried in one of those metal rings because it doesn’t spread across the pan.  They are generally more colorful as well with a yolk so bright it almost sits up and salutes you.

The only way to get them this fresh is to grow your own.  With more folks than ever concentrating on that  philosophy of self-sufficiency raising your own ducks for eggs and meat is a solid course of action.
And, if you are one of those people who do your own vegetable gardening ducks can be a real asset.  They eat harmful insects that try to infiltrate your garden without having to resort to harsh chemical pesticides.
