Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project promoting duck raising for disadvantaged women. The power of raising ducks is that unlike chickens, they are not easily affected by sickness and diseases. They are hardy, sturdy and can survive in difficult weather conditions such as during typhoons and heavy rains. They are also easy to raise and they can provide meat and eggs when they mature. When well-taken cared of, they are egg factories and can provide for the protein needs of the family. This reporting period we realize that we need to improve our breed by the raising of superior breeds and mixing them with our local breeds. In this way the duck bloodlines will improve. We were able to get our stocks from a nearby province and hopefully this will improve our capacity to provide livelihoods to many disadvantaged women.
