I was already pretty set on raising ducks and quail on our little homestead, but this chart helped solidify that decision.
Ducks seem to be the obvious choice for our very rainy climate and the accompanying slugs and snails.
I raised quail in Kentucky because they slid under the HOA ban list (technically they are "game birds" not the banned "poultry" and fit in a pen so small no one noticed). I loved them for their beautiful little sounds, pretty feathers, easy keeping, and delicious and decorative eggs.
A breeding trio of heritage ducks and an aviary full of coturnix quail are on my wish list for next year!
