Its a tricky one Most small holders are only in it to provide food for them selves and its a nice way of life, if you could make a few quid as well it would be great i know a lad who makes a few quid selling duck eggs to local shops we had a discussion in the pub one night and they recon 1 duck would leave you with more profit than 1 sheep.

I don't have any experience but surely poultry is the way to go? Outlay isn't as high as sheep etc, feed isn't as expensive either
