    Duck-Keeping vs Chicken-Keeping

    In this episode, Kevin and Kristine Ellis of Dunkin Ducks compare and contrast domestic ducks and chickens. Turns out, on the homestead, ducks function in much the same way that chickens do with some marked differences. Ducks have stronger immune systems than chickens and tend to be much hardier in exposure to the elements.

    Water features in town houses

    You don’t need a lot of space to have your own pond. A fountainscape or pondless waterfall is easy to install on a patio. It’s even possible to have an above ground pond in a small space. With a little extra TLC, and the right balance, it will thrive.
