But just imagine the per-dozen price you can charge folks for "free range, organic duck eggs".
People on the Nextdoor website were asking like $8 a dozen of duck eggs.
But did they advertise them as free-range, organic?Quote:

I threw a spider into the cage and a duck ate it right up. Glad they have the right idea right away. I can't wait to let them out in the yard.
You're looking at next year for productive egg laying, from both ducks and chicks.Quote:

I've had both ducks and chickens at some point up in Buie.
They are super awesome at insect and weed control. In my experience at least, it does suck if one or more roosters get to pecking on a hen.. that can get messy. And momma duck was really adaptive at finding a way out of the pen area if given an opportunity.
The eggs were great though.
Duck eggs frequently have more than one yolk I noticed.
Seeing double?Quote:

Perhaps I had a magic duck, and didn't know it at the time.
