Duck Farm

[Cockwomble]

As for goat meat, its a "hot" meat, not popular here, except perhaps with the Muslim community. Goats milk, yes may be a market but what do you do with the kids ? Sheep may also be an alternative for the Muslim community

Ducks are highly susceptible to disease especially DVH and DP, in the past few years thousands were lost to some unknown bacterial or viral infection.

Pekin is the best meat duck but Muscovy is common. Alternatively you could cross a Kaiya ( Tsaiya x Pekin ) with a Muscovy.

Organic is another possible outlet for farm produce.

However you wish to "invest" your money farming is tough and even harder if there is no water.

Some very good points there, and I like the idea of a cross breed Duck. Certainly we want people to enjoy eating their duck. As for Goats, we certainly will be wanting to use the milk to make cheese, and of course the opportunity also to make goat curry (which will be a bit of a specialty), just like when I lived in Ladbrooke Grove all those years back.

If you are not trolling, then I expect you back here with a sob story within 1 year...

It's very difficult to make money selling ducks and eggs, the profit margin is just too small. It will be even less with the "brother" managing it. Guaranteed, he will lose interest within 6 months.

Goat curry will be a speciality for sure, as in there will be a very limited market for it. We have a friend who breeds goats but only sells them to the Muslim communities in Phuket. They do quite well though.

IMO, you would be better off keeping a few ducks to enjoy yourself, eggs n meat.. Save the rest of your money to eat out, its cheaper in the long run.

As for the Farang can't work on a farm !! If you are low profile and don't upset the local goat curry mafia, you shouldn't have a problem..

Good luck
