That should get a few hackles up!
We have decided were going to cut our chicken numbers down to a dozen or so and increase our ducks up to a couple of dozen.
A- because the chickens are inconsistent layers, we have hybrids, dual purpose and pure breds.
B- they rely too heavily on the feed we give them.
C- the damned cockerels call in every Fox for miles.
The ducks are a Fox magnet, but generally keep on the lake once foxy is spotted, they lay like there's no tomorrow, and they forage most of their feed.
Taken me twenty plus years to realise this is the way forward for us.
