➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Don't weigh them. They fit whole inside a 1 gallon bag about the size of a 5# store bird. Call it 5 pounds.

The last whole ones had to be coaxed into a 1 gallon bag. Call it 7 pounds?

These are 7.5 weeks and early, so I planned to take the largest ones early. These are slower growing than the last ones. I'm either not feeding them as much (cause they empty the feeders no matter how much I put in them) or the mosquitoes REALLY did a number or the heat. And the mosquitoes and flies are worse this fall than the spring. Nasty flies.

Lessons learned today:
The flies go away when it rains on you while processing chickens.
Flies come right back after it stops, but the reprieve was nice.
If you slope your table to drain the water, don't lean up against it while it is raining or your pants get soaked and boots get full.
Is it that messy to where you can't do it in the house kitchen to avoid the flies?
 
Gator: *been inside all day, have to bribe him out to begin with, then DOESN'T EVEN LEAVE THE STEP. He's been crying/barking like 10, 15 minutes lol it's raining slightly so he's being a baby. Or maybe he doesn't have to go, idk, he hasn't eaten or drunk much if anything today but still.
