We had half a dozen chickens before we moved, and 2 ducks, 2 geese 2 goats and a cat.
Geese can be feisty;-)

How are ducks, compared to chickens, in regards to care? Did you use them for eggs, or pest control?
I also can't forget that I love to be outdoors. I garden, and hike, as well as hobby cook.
Especially the ones which do wake up on a Monday.
I think ducks have individual personalities and can be very loving if you have them from chicks. Care wise chickens need more clean up, duck spend a lot of time in water. Hint, don't drink the water if ducks have been in it.
We had them because i love animals, the eggs were a bonus. Though the goats didn't lay ;-) i do like goats cheese but within weeks i didn't have a woolen sweater with unchewed sleves.

My brother took up wine making. He pleased my dad by making dandelion wine but my favorite was rhubarb wine.

Sometimes I take a long Google earth adventure and travel through locations just watching people as they go about this and that.
I used to do that with the massive fold out aerial shots in National Geographic with a magnifying glass before the internet and Google Earth came about.

My mom.used to make rhubarb pie from the fields when I lived on a farm.
I used to eat the things plucked straight right out of the ground.
Yeah, I dint know better back then either.
Can get some nasty parasites that way.
You & I were lucky.

I never had that issue and I ate hundreds of the stalks.
We both played the odds.
But carrots sure were good...once I brushed off the dirt.

Well I don't eat the dirt either.
If it was actually that bad, we wouldn't be growing food crops I figure.
The trick is to wash produce before eating.

Clearly. Lol
I used to just pluck and eat whatever while I was trying to teach myself how to forage wild edibles.
Then one day I found a tapeworm fluke sitting on a leaf of wild violet.
Now I wash and inspect the hell out of everything I pick.
No surprise to me.
More than once on a cold night I've cuddled a bucket of chicken while watching a game of footy.
What book did you last read?
