In Praise of Ducks

Karen Shepherd

I can hardly say enough in praise of our

experience with Khaki Campbell ducks.

We first got them about a year and a half

ago. They do fine on kitchen waste and

bugs they forage for themselves, so they

eat a lot less commercial feed than you'd

think. Our two females have each laid an

average of more than 4 pounds of eggs

per month for more than a year now. They

provide all the eggs our family of two can

use, and they are the best-tasting, cream-

iest- yolked eggs we've ever tasted, too.

I'd especially like to recommend ducks

to those who live in the Pacific Northwest

like we do. You'll never be unhappy to

see a slug or snail in your garden again,

as they will now become invaluable treats

for your duckies.

I like this article, because first ducks are cute and second

because they are useful. So I found this interesting, because

I never knew ducks laid edible eggs. But this is pretty much all

I like about this article.
