Roasted Duck.
Daffy never tasted so good.
Duck eggs are awesome. They apparently are highly sought after for fine baking. Taste fine over easy on toast too.

Noisy, dirty, and messy. But they love snails and slugs. Your garden will love the ducks. If you can keep them from eating the greens...
The ducks down the lake never shut up this time of year. All night long they go on and on and on...
How long before the neighbors complain Ken?
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
What kind are they. I have only had ducks when I was a kid. My parents had two females. I asked my grandpa about it, and he said there is only one type of duck you want in your yard, a runner. Runners are leaner and like to....well...run. They will spend most of their time scouring the yard for bugs to eat. Our garden loved them. They will eat bugs even when being chased. Other ducks tend to be more liberal and sit around and poop in one place and wait for food handouts. If you don't have runners, eat them and go buy runners to replace them. Then, both you and your wife are happy

Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one.
Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he has ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to the ugly woman!"
The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy.
The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, VERY careful where he steps. He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid eyes on: a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blond. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The guy remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
She says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

Nell warned me...........
The ducks are about 4 times as large as when we got them, a little over a week ago. They eat non-stop, splash water all over, and crap like nothing I've ever seen. Give 'em food and fresh water, and they eat like pigs while they jump in the water and crap in it and then drink it. Gross.
They're getting their own wading pool until the "duck yard" is done.
And their numbers are about to grow. My honey's friend also surprised her husband with 3 baby ducks the same time we got ours. Two of 'em got eaten by something, and the one that's left is "lonely." I've been told that we'll be getting that one, too.
Of course, NOTHING will eat our ducks. We have indoor ducks - at least 'till they get a bit bigger and move into their new high-security tunnel-proof outdoor digs. The damn things have taken over our screen deck.They live there in a jumbo sized dog cage, complete with a mini-wading pool. The cats just love watching them.

What are you going to name the last one?
Caboose
If you always do what you've always done...
You'll always get what you've always gotten.
No matter where you go...
there you are.
All you got to do is "accidentally" leave the cage door open. Let them play with your cats.![]()
