What's the most Lucrative animals to keep in your backyard? I know chickens are pretty good how about Alpacas or sheep? I'm getting a beekeeping box but that's for the soul not money

You need to grow/raise some niche rare crop/animal that isn't available in your area. Ginger, asian vegetables, rare heirlooms etc. Something that can't be commonly found.

By what metric? Ducks will consistently give you eggs for 9-10 years. Low maintenance and hardy creatures relative to something like chickens. The only drawback is their need to access water, which can be a hassle depending on location.

Not animals, but various fungi and herbs can do very well.
Oysters, shiitake for fancy restaurants and a herb spiral for upselling dried organic herbs in fancy shakers.
Send me some BTC once you make it.
All the best.

Checked indeed.
Also, seeds of plants can do well. For example, I grow a rare maize cultivar which is desired by many artisan/experimental growers. 1 seed/corn sells for 30c.
Truly, niche/artisan is the route to go.

Alpacas are great animals and their wool is the second most valuable wool on the market (right after vicugna). Males and females should be kept separate. Overall they are fairly tame and physically manageable, hygienic (they all shit on one pile), tough as in not much care is needed (compared to other animals) and not very demanding food wise and shelter wise (hay and mineral/vitamin supplements, shelter that protects them against shit weather but is partially open - they dont like being locked in). You can start with two or three females and see how it goes. Never buy just one alpaca though, they are very social animals and being alone fucks them up. Their space demands are roughly 1 km squared for one alpaca and 100 m2 for every other, so 10 alpacas are good with 2 km2

ducks are fucking assholes anon. they maim and kill each other over females or just for the hell of it. i knew two ducks who grew up together and one day one of them just decided to drown his sibling for the lulz. they're also disgusting and spray shit filled water everywhere when they're not raping or fighting each other.

I am a retard, I was replying at 4AM before going to sleep - I meant 1000 m2 for one alpaca and 100 m2 for every other. So 2000 m2 for 10 alpacas, not 2 km2.
