Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

I'm not sure; never made a pav!

Pro's....The ducks are far more reliable layers. Plus the infrastructure is simpler. You only need a standard 1.2m fence because they don't fly, they don't get mites, and you don't need a flash house. I just screw 2 pallets together to form an A-frame and cable tie a tarp over it. Plus their paddling water is fantastic fertiliser. They only need a clam shell type paddling pool to splash around in. I bail the water every few days and put it into plastic rubbish bins to use as fertiliser on the veges. I get 5-8 eggs per day from the 8 ducks. Usually 6+

Cons... They are noisy and messy. And they eat about 50% more than chooks.
