    Ducks laying eggs?

    Hello. I am a new duck mommy, to two Muscovy females. However, I feel as though one is a boy. The more feminine one I think has been the one laying eggs recently. The first night they came home there was one egg in the morning. None after that single one. It has been about a month since she last...

    Hello

    Okay so I'll try this again. About 12 days ago I found a muscovy duck egg all alone. It was kind of cold, so I wrapped it in cloth and held it in my hand all day, trying not to move it too much and trying to keep it warm until I could figure out what to do with it. I candled it, but couldn't see...

    So I have this Muscovy duck egg that I found all alone. It was already kind of cold, but I couldn't just leave it alone, so I took it back and put it under a heat lamp, pointed side facing down. I bought a thermometer and hydrometer and am trying to keep the temp at a constant 99-101 degrees. I...

    Washed or Unwashed Eggs

    Hi, All. I've found a lot of information on washing versus not washing duck eggs. I wanted to share what we have decided to do. We do not wash the eggs we eat. Instead we just flick off any straw or shavings and then store them at room temperature in egg cartons until we're ready to eat...

    I finally got my first duck egg and I'm preparing to do a taste test and I'm proposing others join in. I plan to cook a duck egg and a chicken egg the same way and compare the two. They both have the exact same diet, so it will be interesting to see, side by side, exactly how different they...

    New Jersey Duck Eggs

    Hi guys! Just seeing if anyone knows anywhere in NJ to sell duck eggs. We have a couple small auctions that take them here, but with Philly being so close I’m sure there’s plenty of places I don’t know about. ~BriiBaer
