I am blown away by the response and knowledge sharing here- Thanks to all!

I think I will get 20 Runners (1 or 2 males) and then add Pekins after I learn more.

I want to post my progress with photos...

I can sell eggs for .50 to .75 each and duck meat sells for $6/pound.....

I rent 2 acres and a house for $450/month....

unfortunately thats because you live in cali. cost of living out there is crazy. by me you can literally buy a house with 10 acres for 14k mind you the house would need plenty of work but the $ is worth the land alone. and the cost of living in cali is unfortunately only gonna get worse especially if they raise the minimum wage yet again without trying to solve the problem of inflation of goods and over taxation. as the small businesses fail from not being able to afford hiring people the corporate world will take over out there and then you'll have nothing but min wage retail jobs, silicon valley jobs, and hollywood. i dont look forward to what cali will look like in the future. it was such a great state the land of dreams within the country country of dreams.. now has become an land of economic nightmare.

check out google earth for Villarrica Chile- this place rocks!! Chile is the new Land of Opportunity- They love Americans here and land is available and the country is stable, modern and safe! you can rent or crop share land here easily.

Nice! I kinda want to get runners too, that stance is funny and cute, but I don't think I can get them around here, plus I'm worried about stray cats, so I only have pekins. (I'm having them as pets so eggs are a secondary concern, ease of keeping and friendliness come first.)
