comanche 3,040 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Ha Over the years I've kept and raised all sorts of things in my garden but the only complaints I've had were about the noise a brood of bantam- reared keets made . I think the poor neighbour felt a bit guilty when I told her the next day that I'd given them away. What she did'nt realise was that I'd just about had enough of their racket too !

Tiff 36 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 they lay like machines, almost as well as good ducks do, and work very hard all day eating all sorts of bugs, are good watch dogs, and yes can be noisy, but no worse than geese. And they don't start in the morning as early as roosters do! I enjoyed the ones we had, and will probably get some more in the spring. GREAT for ticks if you have a problem with them!
