Poultry

Most homesteaders raise various types of livestock. Ducks are among the most popular birds. They have long been domesticated and can now be found in almost every home. They don't require any special conditions for their upkeep. This business is considered low-cost for a beginning farmer, making it very popular and profitable. Where do you start raising ducks at home, and how do you raise them properly?

Recently, more and more farmers have begun raising turkeys, which are becoming increasingly popular due to their excellent meat production. There are many turkey breeds, all of which differ in appearance, productivity, and adaptability to specific conditions.

The Linda breed has gained immense popularity not only in Russia, where it was developed, but also in neighboring countries. This is primarily due to the bird's high productivity, meaning it produces not only down but also a large amount of meat. Furthermore, goslings of this breed grow and gain weight quite quickly, which means reduced feed costs, which is important for raising any poultry or livestock flock in general.

Faverolles chickens are distinguished by their attractive, dignified appearance. But their beauty isn't their only virtue. They've earned many positive reviews.

The breed was developed in Faverolles, France (according to other sources, in the town of Faverolles). The breed's base is the local Houdan and Mantes breeds, with Brahma, Dorkin, and Cochin breeds used for improvement.

According to research, the most common bird in Russia is the duck. These waterfowl can be found in fresh and slightly brackish waters. They are small in size and undemanding. Some species, such as the greylag goose and mallard, have been domesticated for their meat, eggs, and down. Wild species are hunted.
