I am enjoying your photo album. We aren't too far from you. I think ducks eggs are one of the best kept secrets in the kitchen.  Had I known what prolific layers they were before I started chickens I might have started with ducks first. We don't have any Khaki, but have Blue Swedish, Runners and a Pekin - they are egg laying power houses. Lots of homemade angel foods in our house.

I love ducks! They were our first livestock on the farm. Are you in Georgia or SC?

We are in a NE suburb of Atlanta, GA.  I would love to talk to you more about your meat rabbits, as this is the direction I would like to start heading at the beginning of next year.  I raised rabbits eons ago in high school and college (not for meat), but as a homesteader looking to branch out, rabbits sound like an ideal on many levels. I miss them dearly!
