I think there is some folk method of testing the freshness of eggs where you put them in water and if they float they are bad and if they sink they are good. After you incubate them for awhile they float due to the increasing size of the air cell. And they wiggle once the chick starts to move...
At the moment, most of my Call Ducks are molting because its October. So I won't be selling them for another month or two and till I can test them in my incubator to see if they are fertile. i have been hatching out ducklings up until the point they stopped laying and started molting. Call Ducks...
Yesterday a buyer opened a return case because the post office tried to deliver her package and there was no secure location to leave it. I write on every package "Do Not Leave In Sun". This woman lives in Southern California in Riverside County where it is hotter than blazes in the summer time...
