Owner to turn a profit. What's the market like on domestic (farmed or purpose raised) ducks and geese?
Even more expensive.
Duck is popular enough that we can also find duck eggs in some
markets.
We live above an asian grocery store. Duck eggs are not hard to find
for me. :) So when I was shopping yesterday I looked at the chickens
at "Real Canadian Superstore" and a whole uncooked chicken was $21.75.
It was small enough I think one person could eat it.
Great American Outback. OTOH enough Canadian geese have taken up
homes here on a permanent basis that one can go out with a 9 iron or
a ball bat and bring one home. Or stop and pick up the one(s) you ran
the way home from work.
They aren't used to the area yet. Once they are settled you won't get anywhere close to one with a 9 iron. They will attack you and kick
your old ass across the city. Nothing is as mean as a Canadian Goose.

the rate of exchange between the two countries ... that RCS chook is
a very "high dollar" bird.
Heck I can get an 8 piece (2 wings, 2 breast halves, 2 thighs and 2
legs) double breaded, deep fried and ready to eat for U$10.99.
And the President-elect thinks he's doing America a favour by raising tarrifs on imports. Let the market choose, I say. Bv)=

I can get a pre-cooked one at wally world for less, I think they are around the $15 mark.

Hey, I hope my gubment stands firm. If I were PM Trudick and the
weaved one started the tariff, I would make it easy. "No more electricity, no more Lumber, and no more water." I would cut the USA
off on day one and introduce a 75% tariff if he wanted our resources
back.
But this isn't supposed to be a political echo, so I won't put more in, just answer your point.

That was Costco for me yesterday. After the third time the same women walked in front of me and stopped, I ran right into her. She yelled I asked her if she was special needs and was that why she kept walking in front of me and stopping, she yelled again. I laughed at her and told
her "Calm down." while making the universal sign of a @nutjob (twirling the air by my head). That got her and she stormed off to complain
about me. I continued shopping and heard nothign else.

Laugh. Amazing how times have changed, now a days you couldn't
afford to do that.

rack to put in my cart to "Tell someone who gives a s#!+, why don't
you."
Diesel is 'spensive. Time marches on. Age (and decrepitude) staggers
along behind. But I still like to drive. I think AZ is going to be
using me as a delivery driver once again. YIPPEE! No more standing counter for a whole shift.

Yes that sounds like something I would say. ;)

I didn't know they had stopped using you as a driver. That would
be nice for you to get back out there and do waht you want to do.
I miss the passengers, but I don't miss the rest of the stuff that
comes with driving for a living.
Plus I'd get written up once in a while for an "Extra Miler" award.
And that, besides the collar pin and certificate brought an extra
$100 in my pay packet. Bv)=
I'll probably not get a hub driver gig though. I'm currently 82 and

I want to retire or not.

I'm hoping I'll be allowed to work again someday, even if part-time.
I'll most likely require a sit-down job unless my foot gets amputated
and replaced with a prosthetic.

You might want to edit that recipe.

Not that many people even know what the third pedal is. I asked one of the kids who was on modified duty to start my SUV the other day when it was cold. He came back upstairs and said "There's an extra pedal, and when I turned the key nothing happened."
I just took my keys back and thanked him.
When I got my first driver's license if on e took the driving test in
an automatic shift car they put a restriction on you license that you
were only allowed to drive that style of car. If you took the test in
a stick shify ride - no restrictions.
