My wife and I raise chickens and Muscovy ducks. The chickens are laying hens and we use the eggs from our ducks, but once we let the ducks hatch a clutch we keep the largest one or two males and butcher the others.
Muscovy is a great option as it is a red meat bird, so you would cook the duck breasts like a steak and not like other poultry. It's very lean and sustainable for backyard flocks like ours.
We also try to use mushrooms in many of our dishes.
