11. Raise a few Khaki Campbell ducks.

These ducks lay triple the eggs and convert feed to meat much faster and more efficiently than chickens. Neighbors who would complain about chickens (especially if you have roosters crowing), will probably think a few ducks wandering in your yard are “cute”. They may even want to bring their kids over to feed them for you. And they will keep your garden free of snails and slugs.
