How Royal Roost was Hatched
“Why would you want to raise ducks, when you could raise chickens and get fresh eggs?”
That’s how Karen Krumenacher was told in August of 1998 when she exclaimed, “I think we’ll get some ducks.” Keep reading to hear the whole story on how the Royal Roost was hatched!

And Then...


Ever Since


And Now
The Krumenacher clan consists of their daughter, Chloe, 21 (in the Pre Vet Program at University of Wisconsin Platteville, next up Vet School); and sons Owen, 19; Broden, 16 and Emmett, 14. They’ve also added a dog, some goats, a turkey… and she finally got those ducks she originally wanted! It’s turned into a real menagerie at the Royal Roost, and Karen truly believes one of the best choices she has made in life was deciding to raise chickens along with her human family.
