    How to find out what local duck eggs go for?

    Interesting. I find that locals pay about $2.50 for grain fed chicken eggs. I have not see anyone locally that sells duck eggs so there isnt any way for me to get an idea yet. I have not gone to the Waldo flea market since its out of the way for me. I just dont have any comp's to go with on the...

    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. I have call ducks, jumbo peking, and muscove ducks and they all were picked upon by the RIR's. I thought that if I...

    Egg white problem

    Hi to all, My RIR hens are laying eggs finally but in the last 2wks or so I have had problems. When I hard boil the eggs the white does not get stiff as it should. No matter how long I boil them. 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.

    Blue...poo

    My local Merrita bread store sells out of date items to local small farmers at great prices.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...

    What's the best gun for use on rats?

    No one mentioned this and i was kinda surprized. Being a person with little or no exerience with firearms does not mean you have to rule out their use. Just buy rat shot instead of regular ammo for the 22. Rat shot is designed to work like a shotgun shell would by fanning out a pattern instead...

    Ducks-Nature's antidepressant

    I'd have to agree with all above. I finalized my divorce last month (something i swore i would never do to my children) and i have been unable to see much to smile about lately. However, i recently brought home 6 rabbits, 10 chickens, and 4 ducks (my cat thinks i have lost my mind). I have come...
