    Call duck eggs

    Not sure about local hatcheries where you are...I bought day old call ducks from a local supplier which solved the incubator issue. It would probably solve your timeline issue regarding getting them ready for the next show. Just a thought.

    ducks with the chickens?

    My experience with chickens and ducks in the same enclosure was not positive. I ended up separating them into a section for each due to the RIR's continually bothering the ducks.

When pealing the eggs I end up taking off 50-60-% of the white due to it not being stiff enough to...

    Deep Litter Method Question

    Quote: You are correct in wanting to prevent nitrogen depletion, almost anything new or freshly composted will require nitrogen to help in breaking down when placed in the ground.

    My local Merrita bread store sells out of date items to local small farmers at great prices. Ever seen the big/tall metal rack used to roll the bread to the shelves at stores? Its 8ft tall give or take an inch and I get it crammed for $5.00 and $10.00 gets two of those. I get everything you can...
