are ducks worth keeping?

[Miss Lydia]

Yep it is..... I like my guineas, some people think they are terrible...

I have a tee shirt that says" Give Geese a Chance"I think we need one here for @duluthralphie That says "Give Ducks a Chance"

I like Guineas Just don't have any.

I'm a duck fan...and I think if I knew back when I first started what I know now, I might have just stuck with ducks and skipped chickens altogether. Now, it's too late...

also just a question for you duck keepers/ experts out there (thanks for all the help so far

) is it okay if i put a few geese with them as well like 2-3 am taking about? my local hatchery also sells emeden geese? and i really enjoy how they look. plus a few goose eggs in the spring might be a nice treat once in awhile.

I want it firmly noted I was forced into this conversation by Holms!

I use to be indifferent towards ducks and geese. Last summer I went to his place to test his birds. He forced me to touch a duck. Even through 3 pairs of latex gloves I could not get the duck off me for 3 weeks.

Also Mankind has a bias against ducks ever since the first duck talked Eve into eating the apple in the Garden of Eden.

Did you know I learned from taking the blood from his ducks it is highly corrosive?




Guineas bring out the savior complex in me. They are so beyond redemption and help that I cannot do anything but give it a try. So far I have not saved one Guinea from a life of crime.

That is a misconception spread by people who cannot see the innate evil in webbed footed creature.

I was testing it for diseases. Which is kind of a monumental tasks considering what they are....



BTW Duck is good if stuffed with sauerkraut..

I think they are related to coots which are just low class ducks.....

In case anyone objects to any of this it is just good natured ribbing of my duck loving friends...
