My dad raised chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons. The pigeons didn't get to ever fly; they were confined to a cage just tall enough for a man to walk in. But the chickens, ducks and geese had a very large yard to roam in, and the ducks always had a large tub of water to splash in. So they had a pretty good life (until they were butchered of course). I remember gathering white, blue and brown eggs of varying sizes. I sure didn't like the goose poop though! So slimy when stepped on barefooted. Yuck!
