I’m a big advocate for pigeons. I see the true value of a simple bird that has been wrongly characterized. These last 4 years I’ve dedicated my self (loosely) to have them. Yet I still see a huge value in home grown chicken eggs.
I guess a homestead doesn’t rely on just one animal but a combination of animals that fulfill your needs.

I am big fan of ducks as well.
I haven’t had ducks or duck eggs but I’ve thought about adding them into the homestead.
I find they have better personalities than chickens. Gentler on the garden and can forage for a good portion of their food.
I've been thinking about quail (local wild quail, actually), pigeon, and muscovy (technically a goose?).
Why not all three?
Why not right? The only thing I don’t like about quail is that you have to incubate the eggs in order to have more. Pigeons, chickens, ducks are pretty much hands off. Well pigeons for sure are hands off as long as they have water and food. I tried quail but I failed, felt it was too much work.
