ducks vs chickens
I'm making mayonaise with the eggs and duck mayo is worth a lot more than chicken mayo so my question is, is there any reason to not replace all my chickens with ducks? I suppose I might need regular mayo for something once in a while, unless any recipes that call for mayo can use duck mayo as well?

I think it makes sense to do so, my coop only has ducks and my barn only has pigs. For some recipes you need milk, cheese, eggs and mayonnaise though, so I guess having at least 1 chicken and 1 cow until you're done with that is sensible.

Ducks are like the best animal in the game. Only 1 egg type for inventory space, you can harvest the hen house whatever day you feel like (unlike milk), you can get new ones to sell any time you want and its your choice when it happens, not RNG.

Nothing not to love about the ducks.

In my experience, the ducks only give an egg every other day, just like goats only give milk every other day.

Thats why they are better. You only rarely need to check on them. The henhouse won't fill up with eggs as fast. So ducks are a much smaller time sink.

You still have to pet them every day or they lose hearts.

Interesting, so Ducks are kind of a "Less Time Consuming" Alternative to Chickens?

The Duck eggs always sell for the same prices as their chicken "Big Eggs" counterparts, and the Duck Mayo is more expensive, so it's kind of a Chiken for lazy ppl, but they also give feathers from time 2 time, good gifts, and selling Ducks itself seems like a profitable thing to do too.

that's it, right?

like already mentationed you must take into account that ducks only give you an egg every second day (if perfectly happy) , so there eggs may be worth more, but you get less. so if the money is your point, you must compare the price of 2 big eggs (not so unlikly at iridium class if u petted you chickens well) vs one duck egg, and the price of 2 gold star mayonaise vs 1 normal duck mayo.

Also, ducks drop feathers instead of eggs sometimes.
How about rabbit ?

How about not replying to a thread where the last post was from 2016 other then you guys posting today.
Sorry, I don't understand about these very much.
In Taiwan, they would say : "Go searching the old post." (中文:請爬文。去翻精華區。)
Sometimes they said so when there are no information(which I need) in old post,
I hate that and doubt that : is there something evil there ?

If I want some thought about rabbit, should I start a new thread ?

(Sorry for my terrible English.)
