It's taken me quite some time but I've finally read the entirety of this thread, I must say there are some brilliant suggestions and ideas floating around, I don't cook as often as I'd like and lack the creativity of you guys but this has given me some ideas for the weekend!
I'm one of those dang vegetarians, I would happily give any to a good home though, ok I'm on my way home now, I will have a chat with my girlfriend and then go on the search for a dozen hatching eggs! :)

Blame the Duckling diary thread! I swear I dream of "Burdz" and "webz" now!
Welshies and Cayugas, I actually worked with ducks a lot at college and I have been meaning to get some for a couple of years, but living in the city I have been waiting to find some land to keep them on, this has now...
