The post whore thread.

I was getting duck eggs from a member here for a while and they are VERY thick. I never did figure out how to crack them well. heh. Taste great though. The ducks are 7 days old, and the chicks are 3-4 days old. The duck's wings are about the size of one of my toes. It looks very weird since the ducks are like three times a large as the chicks. One of the ducks fell over on its back and couldn't roll over. I watched it for a minute before turning it over. I couldn't figure out why it couldn't get up until I saw the wings.

That shit is ridiculous.


Bird Day #1 Update: However much of a mess you think a duck will make, it will make a bigger one.

But just imagine the per-dozen price you can charge folks for "free range, organic duck eggs".

[Irving]

People on the Nextdoor website were asking like $8 a dozen of duck eggs.

But did they advertise them as free-range, organic?

It's been a while since I've been kicked off, but I'm sure they did.

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.

[Irving]

Yeah, they said they start laying in about 6 months.

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.
