Found eggs!!!
I found about 20 eggs in my duck box. I pulled them all and did a light test. None of them are fertilized. I did the water test, and they almost all sank. Except for 3. The 17 eggs that sank and are considered "fresh", are we able to eat them? My duck was laying about an egg day, so I can... -

Soft shells in mature duck
