    Another attempt to sell duck-eggs

    Hi Friends, i did not thought it would be so hard to sell duck eggs around Charleston, WV! In our first attempt on a farmer's market we barely broke even, just earned the money we'd paid for the table. I don't want to become stinky rich with duck-eggs, but it would be great if they'd pay the...

    Duck eggs

    I had a duck sitting on eggs and hatched six of them when she got off the nest. There were still around 20 eggs in the nest. I took those eggs and put them in the incubator. Doing the math, if the six hatched at 28 days and the understanding duck eggs hatch between 28-35 days, I was on day 42...
