I promise you chicken eggs from the store can last a long while before they go bad. I used to buy them in bulk.


Lol if you go by rjohns they should last past the expiration date

LMAO for real.

I know that normal people can trust eggs from a store for week.
I am not normal.

I will have to go back later on if I have the energy to do so LOL I am back from my store run and taking care of a couple errands. I went to that feed and mill store and they couldn't help me about locating ducks. So on a whim I decided to swing by Tractor Supply and look on their community board and ask them. Turns out they are getting in "an assortment of ducks" the end of this month. The woman told me that I need to know what I am looking for if I want a specific breed because they don't come marked and all she can identify are Rouens, Khaki Campbells and Mallards. So, I need to educate myself on duckling identifying. I've got 2 breeds in mind/preference and I already know that one of them would have to be thru a personal seller or hatchery and that is the Saxony. The other kind, Silver Appleyard, she told me that she believes they will be getting in so . And it will give us time to convert our doghouse that we built, that none of our dogs like or use at all, into a duck house. Just needs a bit of tweaking and whatever other preparing that we need to do. Am kinda excited, not gonna lie.

@BantyChooks do you have baby Appleyard pics?

Take pictures of them on your phone so when you get to the store you can look back at the pictures!
