Hi all,
Apart from the eggs and potential for meat what other benefits would chickens/ducks/geese etc bring to your smallholding? I'm still in the process of building things up so I only have a few sheep and weaners for fattening at the moment.
I've read a few bits and pieces online about potential improvements to pasture/reductions in fluke instances etc but I'm not sure if these are perceived benefits or if people have actually noticed anything like this in real life.
On the flip side, are there any negatives to keeping them? that you wish you knew before you started? From what I've read on here earlier this year, having to house them for a time must have been a pain, especially around lambing time?
Thanks,
Cuddles
