Summary

In this episode, Kevin and Kristine Ellis of Dunkin Ducks compare and contrast domestic ducks and chickens. Turns out, on the homestead, ducks function in much the same way that chickens do with some marked differences. Ducks have stronger immune systems than chickens and tend to be much hardier in exposure to the elements.

It quickly grew into a viral internet sensation, most notably with videos of her duck Munchkin drinking ice water from different restaurants.
