1. Ducks - Can be used for meat (such as Pekins), egg production (Khaki Campbells), or just for ornamental purposes (Mandarins)

2. Quail - Mostly used for meat, but some do use the eggs.

3. Goats - Roughly divided into meat or dairy breeds, but other categories can be used for dual purpose. Meat breeds such as Boer and Kiko are larger while dairy breeds such as Nubian and Alpine have higher milk production. All breeds can be kept for pets (ornamental).

4. Peacocks - Mostly ornamental, but the eggs and meat can be consumed. Most of their value is just ornamental.

5. Guinea fowl - Their meat is considered a delicacy in some parts of the world. Most commonly they are used for insect control, but they are also layers of medium size eggs that can be consumed.

6. Geese - Lay larger eggs, but eggs can be eaten. Geese also are raised for meat and even for guard animals.

7. Jungle fowl - Mostly ornamental, but do lay eggs and could be used for meat.

8. Rabbits - Depending on breed, they are used for meat and ornamental/pet purposes.
