I've only ever eaten chicken eggs. I really want to try duck eggs, though. How do they compare to chicken eggs?
I've not tried duck eggs. But goose eggs are great. Much bigger, obviously, than a chicken egg, but the yolks are proportionally much bigger too. So you end up with a huge yolk. Higher cholesterol and very nutritious.

Saturday afternoon, I found a small kilner butter churn on the shelf of my local charity shop. Made butter with it today.
(Anyone know where I can find a new arm?) :)
Phew! Hard work! but very satisfying as I now also have half a jug of buttermilk in the fridge, ready to bake a soda bread tomorrow.

I have a psychotic chicken which is obsessed with trying to eat my fingers. If I put my had on the ground or anywhere within reach it imminently sprints over and starts pecking them as hard as it can.
 
I have always found that Geese are absolutely fine and as long as you're not scared of them, they don't do a lot but if you show any fear that's when they will attack/chase you.
 
Perhaps contact BAE Systems? They’re an arms dealer. :)
Just been down the arm y surplus store, now have a couple of spare butter making arms stashed under the bed for future use. :) :)
Bae systems were a bit expensive , so I've got a couple of part used ones.
Igor.. the shop keeper was very helpful and even gave me a few bolts to keep my head on straight for free. Nice chap.

Yes - their bite is no worse than a gentle pinch.
I let a swan savage me - it's bite could not break the skin, but he almost gave me a blood blister ! Still telling the rowers that they can break your neck though - it makes them row faster.
