Ducks are pretty garden friendly, but chooks will turn the
garden into a desolation.
Try Silkies if you want to try chooks in the garden. They are small
and not as active as bigger hens.
We had some silkies. I was not particularly impressed. I found them
a bit delicate, they aren't great layers and they are too broody.
I plan to fence off a corner of my yard and keep the ducks and a
couple of chooks on deep litter, just letting them out for an hour
or so every now and again. I bought some golden campines for
my dad, and they are very attractive birds. Maybe a bit flighty.
Maybe I will get a pair of australorps.
