The Khaki Campbell Duck is a domesticated breed of ducks that originated in England and is known for its high egg production. The breed was developed by Mrs. Adel Campbell at the turn of the 20th century. The “Campbell Duck” was first introduced in 1898 and with further refined crossbreeding produced the ‘Khaki’ variety that was introduced in 1901. Khaki Campbell is a cross between Mallard, Rouen and Runner ducks. The Khaki Campbell Ducks reach maturity at approximately 7 months and at adulthood Campbells weigh approximately 3-5 pounds. They come in three color varieties: khaki, dark and white. The Khaki Campbell adult male is mostly khaki colored with a darker head, usually olive green, without the white ring of its Mallard ancestry. The egg production of the Campbell breed can even exceed the best domestic chickens, with the breed being able to lay an average of 325 eggs a...

                  The Chukar partridge or Chukar (Alectoris chukar) is in the pheasant family Phasianidae. The Chukar got its name from the noise they make that sounds chuck-chuck-chukar-chukar. The Chukar is a roundish 13”–14” long partridge with a light brown back, grey breast, and buff belly. Their face is white with a black gorget, rufous-streaked flanks, red legs and coral red bill. The shades do vary across different populations of the bird. The sexes, however, are similar, the female slightly smaller in size and lacking the spur. Other names for this bird include chukker (chuker or chukor), Indian chukar and keklik. The Chukar partridge has its native range in Asia, including Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India as well as the inner ranges of the Western Himalayas to Nepal. The species that were brought to US were from populations collected from Afghanistan and...

              The Numididae Guineafowl sometimes called “original fowl” or Guineahen are a family of birds in the Galliformes order. The Guineafowl are native to Africa and one of the oldest of gallinaceous birds. They are phylogenetically between Peafowl and the Odontophoridae. This family of birds is insect and seed-eating, ground-nesting and resemble partridges but with featherless heads, though both members of the genus, Guttera have a distinctive black crest. These large birds measure from 16–28 in. in length, and weigh 1.5-3.5 lb. All Guineafowl are social and usually live either in small groups or large flocks. Guineafowl meat is dryer and leaner than chicken meat with a gamey flavor. It is slightly more protein rich than chicken or turkey with half the fat of chicken and with fewer calories. However, Guineafowl eggs are richer than chicken...

                  The Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) is a tropical member of the Phasianidae family. The Red Junglefowl is believed to be the ancestor of the domestic chicken, with some hybridization with the Grey Junglefowl. The Red Junglefowl was first domesticated around five thousand years ago in Asia and then spread across the world. The domestic form is kept as a very good food source of both meat and eggs. The males of the species are much larger with red fleshy wattles and comb on the head and are brightly colored while the female are much smaller with a subdued plumage for camouflage as she is the one that looks after the eggs and chicks. Male Red Junglefowl have a shorter crowing sound than domestic roosters. They are omnivorous and feed on insects, seeds and fruits. Flight for these birds is confined to short distances and high enough only to reach their roosting areas in trees or get away from ground...

              Rabbits are small mammals in the Leporidae family of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit. More than half the world’s rabbit population resides in North America. Their size can range anywhere from 8” to 20” in length and weigh more than 4lb. The fur is most commonly long and soft, with color variations of brown, gray, and buff. Rabbits can see nearly 360 degrees, with a small blind spot at the bridge of the nose. Rabbits are herbivores that feed by grazing on grass, forbs, and leafy weeds. The only rabbit to be widely domesticated is the European rabbit. Domesticated rabbits have mostly been bred to be much larger than wild rabbits, selective breeding has produced a range sizes from “dwarf” to “giant. Rabbits can turn 20 percent of the proteins they eat into edible meat, compared to 22 to 23 percent for broiler chickens, 16 to 18 percent for pigs and 8 to 12 percent for beef; rabbit meat is more economical in terms of feed energy than beef. Rabbit meat is richer in proteins but low in...
