Self Sufficient Me – 10 Reasons Why NOT to Keep Ducks
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Excellent video!
Always wondered why they weren’t commonly raised on an industrial level.
Totally reinforces everything I know about Ducks.

Interesting video, I will scratch off ducks on my to do list.
We’ve got 2 Pekin ducks in with 14 chooks, about half of his reasons don’t apply (they’re not that noisy, females don’t attack the chooks, they don’t play with the cup water feeder, there are no snakes or foxes in NZ, their pen is big enough that the grass survives so poop not an issue) but his other reasons (eggs not so yummy, not friendly, waste of feed) I agree with.

Reading the subcomments, the Australian – and maybe all Australia – was doing ducks wrong.
Ducks are waterfowl. They like to swim around in ponds. Other people in those comments recorded having ducks on their property who got along with them fine, because their property had waterfront.
I would have thought Roosters would spur the ducks away.
Reason #11
They are not Beavers.
HA ! what a treat.
Thanks wayne for the Saturday morning cartoon flashback. Love it.
My sister raised muscovey (sp?) ducks here in the central CA costal area, because they were quiet and had good dark meat.
She sold them on the grey market to Chinese restaurants. Good $$$ business.
She tired of this after a few years because the ducks were so messy. (no lake front property)
She went back to chickens and washing / repairing horse blankets and tack. Better $$$ business.
Quack on.
