MAY OF 2009 DUCK MANOR BEGAN-
We were camping and decided to stop at a Fruit stand - my husband saw chickens and then the farmer re-directed us to the ducklings. 20.00 later we were now duck owners didn't have a clue. Now we have a very nice sized duck coop and fenced in pen and are happy...

Also - I heard if I collect them each day they are safe to eat, do ducks lay eggs that are infertile I guess I don't quite understand. EGG...
