Duck-Keeping vs Chicken-Keeping

The Beet: A Podcast For Plant Lovers

In this episode, Kevin and Kristine Ellis of Dunkin Ducks compare and contrast domestic ducks and chickens. Turns out, on the homestead, ducks function in much the same way that chickens do with some marked differences. Ducks have stronger immune systems than chickens and tend to be much hardier in exposure to the elements.

Kristine started ¨Dunkin Ducks¨ in 2017 as a fun way to share her beloved pets online. It quickly grew into a viral internet sensation, most notably with videos of her duck Munchkin drinking ice water from different restaurants. She focuses a lot on educational videos about raising pet ducks, while also keeping it fun with silly duck videos.
