What are you going to do with 200 ducks? How are you feeding them. I can't imagine your feed bill.

We buy pellets from the local grain mill- AG store- $12 for a 55/lbs bag- but the plan is to pasture raise the hens in groups of 50 to 100- and we plan to offer pest management to local orchards and vineyards.
the pics below are example of the mobile shelters we want-

Well we have been milling over that topic. Their normal feed and we get free VEG from local producers. They get a lot of time foraging we live on 2 hectars with seasonal pond that has small frogs and small snakes. Oh and they love charcoal water.

Duck eggs are prized here in Chile with no competition and go for 75 cents an egg. We have A grade eggs at 82 - 85 grams each. At 150 eggs a day we make $112.50 a day $3360.00 a month.

the pics below are what we want for the first step- with the first goal of 20 to 30 eggs daily so we need 30 to 40 females and 20 males for breeding- the idea is to separate the laying PATAS in groups as soon as they start laying
Anyone want to come help?- stay free!!!!
