Ducks vs Chickens Which Is Best??

Spend Sunday morning with my family and see what life is like with ducks and chickens. Which is best for families and which is easier to care for? These are frequently asked questions we get in our comments and we answer in this video.

Those chickens really liked that watermelon 😮😂❤ The ducks and chickens are very cute, I love them both

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

I love them both too! But those ducks really are messy creatures 😂

Sounds a little like dogs VS cats. However, cats are very clean (usually) while being more independent.

Chickens for sure 🎉

Find another home for the snapping turtle. Get it out of that pond.

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

We have tried for 2 years and we finally gave up. We tried luring it with liver and we had a whole trap set up…we just kept catching painted turtles! But we know that snapper is in there because we have seen it. We did lots of research on how to catch it and nothing worked.

This was a fantastic video. It's so funny but It makes me feel better knowing I am not alone in my thinking. I too love my ducks but they are so messy./nasty Now that my health has declined even more I can't keep their pools as clean as I'd like. My husband has been picking up the slack. They have a small pan for clean drinking water but I guess I just expected something more "sanitary " ... 😂 no, no, not with ducks... thanks again luv... videos are so much appreciated ❤

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thank you…yes ducks are a mess! 😂😂 I’m glad you liked this video. I want people who watch our videos to know what they are getting into if they decide to get ducks. We know because we are living it but I had no idea until we got these ducks.

@@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement Neither did I. My auntie before she passed last year, told me they were a lot of work and messy. I really like my ducks but oh my goodness... she was so right.

What a wonderful video! I’m curious, what do you use for the ducks’ water in the winter?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Thanks…our pond doesn’t really freeze much in the winter..so they use the pond. My husband also rigs up a water system in the barn for them.

What happened to Dorothy, Thomas, and the other male duck?

[@GrandmaLivesInTheBasement]

Dorothy and Ben Affleck are living next door at the neighbors pond because they don’t get along with Jake and his three girls that live here. Thomas and two other Runner ducks passed away 😞😞😞 I don’t like to talk about it on the channel because I don’t want to make anyone sad 😞😞😞
