  • We have been getting asked a lot why we raise ducks and what do you use them for. We answer why we have ducks. It is time to bottle our kombucha flavor it and do the second fermentation process all at the same time tonight!

    I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
    At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

    Out of all the eggs from fowls, duck eggs are the most nutritious, followed by geese.

    Duck eggs make fantastic noodles. The color is so rich and the noodles are almost silky smooth after they are rolled very thin.

      They make good cakes too. Ducks can swallow their feed better if they can wash it down, they like having water close to their feed, but they are messy little guys. Awsome insect control

    When I was a growing up in NH back in the 50's we had ducks in the coop with the chickens to help keep warm in the winter. The hIgh school home economics teacher who lived across the street loved using the duck eggs in class to show students the difference in their cakes.

      We got a blueberry grape organic grocery store one. Two out of 5 of us liked it(the parents). The 3 kids made faces and comments about fiz and smell. I make kimchi and drink kefer so am used to the fermentation. My husband and I are going to order a scobi and start a batch soon. Btw, following the kombucha with a beer makes for some pretty awesome belches😂

    All this mention of duck eggs, meat and fat has made me hungry for French food! Perhaps a nice duck cassoulet once those beans of yours are grown! Seeing Olivia help on the homestead so often has me wondering about the FFA and 4-H and whether they cater to homesteading or if there's a modern homesteading equivalent for young homesteaders?

I was wondering if you have ever tried fermenting the grains you give to your chickens (especially in winter). we have a man we get Non GMO wheat and oats from and these are fermented for 3 days in a 5 gal bucket. We also add 3 TBS of ACV and one TBS of Molasses.
    To say they love it is an understatement. Oh, our Khaki Campbells ducks will be here Tuesday!!!!! Yay! Thanks for showing us all you do! My 5 yo Grandson, Luke and I watch you every day!! He's a big fan too!!!

    Good Evening Al i raise Khaki campbels here in the uk. Yes they are good for eggs But im not too sure about as a meat bird they are only skinny lol I think as a very good all round meat/egg breed Duck the best bet is Muscovys in my opinion The males get real big plenty of meat and the eggs are of a good size !!

    • @LumnahAcres

    • @MrMush78
      @MrMush78 6 років тому +4

      Lumnah Acres no duck "needs" a pond as such they just need a bowl or whatever you have water in deep enough for them to be able to dunk there heads in the main reason is so they can keep there nasel passage clean /clear (2 little holes top of there bill) sure in a ideal world we would all have a pond for our ducks but it is not a necessity 👍

      Phil Naylor get some muscovys lumnah

    • @KelikakuCoutin
      @KelikakuCoutin 6 років тому +4

      Muscovys are tree ducks. I had a pair for years, both of which laid daily. They should have a tub of water they can preen in, or they'll get dirty and disgusting. They don't need a pond, but really appreciate a place to swim. At least a tub in which they can preen is fine. You keep your poultry in a pasture, so I surmise that they'll be able to keep pretty clean in any case - just being exposed to a lot of grass. You can possibly get away without a preening tub.
      Also, they are "quackless." They do not quack, and they're very quiet. They can be a little aggressive, but not like geese. They should be "gentled" like pets, which can avoid aggressiveness. I wouldn't keep more than one drake, if any. Also, they'll readily cross-mate with the Mallards. Eggs will be fertile, and produce a sterile "mule" duck.
      They're nearly twice the size (meatwise) of Mallard breeds (like Runner Ducks or Khaki-Campbells). Also, their meat is very lean, and very low in fat. They have a veal-like meat, very un-ducklike. So, they're not a source of duckfat.
      It's unusual for them to lay daily like mine did. It worried me and I actually called the breeder who supplied the ducklings. The breeder told me it's because I treated them like pets, and it's sign of contentedness. They'll start to lay at about three months. The eggs are larger than chicken eggs, about the size of a grade AAA Jumbo grocery store egg. The shells are a little harder to crack, and it takes a few days to get used to that. After about week they start tasting the same as chicken eggs.
      Also, these ducks can handle the cold. They'll go out in sub-freezing weather without batting an eyelash. They can fly, so you should clip a few feathers off one wing (in the middle) every moult. They'll still be able to catch as much air as a chicken that way. They like to stay home anyway.
      Hope this helped, and I hope you get several females to augment your poultry operation. They have a pretty engaging personality, as poultry animals go. If nothing else, they'll provide you with entertainment. B'H.

    • @ralphmills7322
      @ralphmills7322 5 років тому

      My parents had muscoys, They were ugly in both appearance and temperament! We had a small stream running in back of the house about 8 foot wide. Those mean, old hens would lay eggs on the opposite bank just so they could hiss at father and I when we wade across to collect. I'll grant they were good foragers, that stream was full of crayfish and minnows before the ducks took it over.
      So a duck breed that has a good disposition, can be raised in a wash tub, quacks instead of hisses and stays within the poultry fencing and not make every day an Easter egg hunt is alright with me. I'll leave those vulture faced brutes to those who can appreciate their unique character (and flavor).

    It appears the chickens in New Yolk City took the night off from laying eggs. :)
    Does the kombucha help with digestion?

      Yes kombucha helps with digestion! It is a great source of probiotics!

    Thank you for the info. Do the Khaki Campbell ducks get along with the chickens? Any issues? Want to get ducks that would share the coop with the chickens but I wasn't sure which breed.

    • @LumnahAcres

      We haven't had any issues. The ducks like to make a mess with the water

    • @LumnahAcres

    Man, Olivia is RIGHT in there with the process. Proof positive of good parenting. Well done. Oh, and don't worry dude, Kimberly's apron didn't make any of us want to pat you on the butt....LOL. I'm as 'hetero' as they come, and I'D wear that 'tool'! In fact, I'm gonna figure out how to get one made for me. Having breakfast for dinner due to a cracked duck or goose egg is annoying.

    In my experience, when rendered, lamb fat burns cleaner. It's better than many other animal fats for torches or lanterns. Beef, pork, and even chicken fat put off a lot of soot when burning, but lamb fat puts of very little soot.

    Hi Lumnah Acres, Just came across your channel "AWESOME" Thanks
    Can I ask, do your ducks return to their coup at night?
    We only have chickens and they free range around our 10 acres, and go home to bed every night, we simply lock the door and all is good. I just wondered if your duck go home by themselves, if they do we will look into getting some as well.
    thanks again

    • @LumnahAcres
      @LumnahAcres  6 років тому

      The ducks do go in at night but not as easy as the chickens. Some nights they go in sometimes the ducks sleep outside.

    Does Olivia know that you were wearing her eggpron?? I still don't think that it is your color! Lol!
    Actually a great idea! :)
    I have some bib overalls that serve a similiar purpose. Lots of pockets for eggs and tools.
    Olivia is so helpful in the kitchen with all that you guys are doing. She is learning soooo much!!
    So, on the duck eggs, you have to use them in baking and cooking items and not like regular chicken eggs? Sorry for the question. We have never had egg laying ducks to experiment with.
    Thanks for sharing!

    • @LumnahAcres
      @LumnahAcres  6 років тому

      No but she will when she watches the video! :) You can eat duck eggs just like regular eggs but they are really good for baking and cooking with! Great question!

    • @singleman1986
      @singleman1986 6 років тому

      Dan 821.....Duck (and goose) eggs are superior for baking and 'specialty cooking', but you CAN use them just like chicken eggs in the frying pan. That said, it'd be kinda like using your Mercedes to haul animal feed. Remember, MOST ducks and geese don't lay 365 like chickens. Muscovys lay about 20-30 eggs a year max, but geese only lay 12-18 a year in MY experience. They're here for meat after the first laying season. Since they'll eat lot of the 'graze' that chickens won't, the biggest advantage to having water fowl in with your chickens is having the need for only ONE pen/tractor. They all get along just fine if they are raised together from hatching. DON't try to introduce feathered ducks or geese in with a flock of chickens. The 'pecking order stress' will cost you a BUNCH of chicken eggs, and the ducks and geese may never lay. Hope this helps when you try some. Sorry for butting in.
