ducks raised properly are nice, friendly birds. large eggs. bath water can be poured directly on our new trees in the peach orchard. they also can't get enough of grasshoppers, which will eat the trees.

but yes, I have to watch out for the bobcats and coyotes.

there is no way on God's green earth that my wife would allow me to kill a rabbit. if you don't eat the rabbit, what's the point?

Chickens are a plenty around here. we'll probably get some meat chickens later this year. My neighbor provides me with all the eggs I can eat until winter.
