The study aimed to determine whether a larger flock size enhance the production, sale, and consumption of household duck eggs and duck meats in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey was conducted over three months, from April 15 to June 15, 2021, in three villages within the Tala upazila of Satkhira. Results indicated that the percentage of Khaki Campbell (88.9 %) was the highest followed by Jinding (6.7 %) and Desi (4.4 %) ducks in the existing flocks. The Desi, Jinding and Khaki Campbell started laying at an average age of 6.5, 6.7 and 6.2 months, respectively. Annual egg production (no.) was the highest in Khaki Campbell (176) followed by Jinding (173) and Desi (140). Mongoose was the leading predator followed by jackal, wild cat, dog, crow and muskrat. None of the farmers practiced vaccination and deworming. Overall reported disease incidence was 57.8 % which appeared to be the main challenge for duck raising. Mortality was high in Khaki Campbell (12.4 %) followed by Desi (10.0 %) and Jinding ducks (9.5 %). Shelter for the ducks was the primary need of the farmers. An increased flock size was associated with increased annual egg production which ultimately increased net annual family income. Further, an increased annual egg production concomitantly increased annual egg and duck sale. Accordingly, increased annual duck and egg production increased annual household consumption of duck egg and duck meat. An increased sale of duck was associated with reduced consumption of duck egg and duck meat. It was concluded that production and consumption duck egg and duck meat as well as family income could be optimized by increasing rearing of household ducks.
