Why do you think it's more common to have chickens?

Chickens produce more eggs when trying to be industrious & the meat is super popular.

Duck eggs & meat are considered delicacies.

Commercialized food systems have neutered quality & variety for the sake of efficiency.

Further, in a permaculture system, you're usually looking to replace your diet aspiring to be self sufficient.

Most people don't even think of ducks.

For me and mine, both are a must. Meat, eggs, laying schedules/quantities, foraging differences (one scratches, the other compacts). They’re just too complimentary to each other to pick one over the other.

Definitely, but for smaller back yards I'm going ducks!
