11 Ducks That Fund Their Own Feed and Maximize Your Land's Return

A single duck is capable of producing more than 300 eggs annually — eggs that consistently sell for twice the price of chicken eggs at farmers markets. And the bird responsible for those eggs likely cost you less in feed, less in veterinary expenses, and continued laying long after your best hen stopped. Most people never learn this. Instead, they hear that ducks are messy, that ducks are noisy, that ducks require a pond. None of that is accurate — or at least none of it tells the complete story.
