Sorry guys, just so excited!!!

Finally! Brittany popped one out!!! It's about time you slacking duckie!

I went out to check this morning and in the lower box, BAM! Big white duck egg.

The only thing is it was very dirty and looked like it was pecked at. It might be cuz it's been awful rainy out and their pen is very muddy.. sad Do y'all think it's ok to eat? Or should I try and remove the yolk and paint it instead?

Eat it smile

It amazes me how nasty those ducks can make their eggs-sometimes mine are *really* filthy and it takes some scrubbing to get them clean!

Look for Porter Feeds on Facebook!
