I love chickens and such. When I lived in my bigger house (we've downsized) I had a pond and a dozen ducks. They would be out on the pond all day and came running when I called and would go into their safe pen for the night (otherwise the coyotes and raccoons and foxes would have gotten them). They had babies which were unbelievably cute. We all ate the most wonderful duck eggs you can imagine, for years. Can't keep poultry in the village where we live now. I don't mind, it was fun while it lasted.
