Not set. Just making an early short list and ruling out or prioritizing as I learn. I do really like the look of the delawares though and so they were sort of at the top for me.

We literally just got the stamper 2 days ago. Unfortunately, due to my laziness, I have thrown out more eggs than I should have. Most were duck eggs but still. Most of the time we were able to keep tract well but we've gone through spurts where they just built up and I felt more at ease throwing them out than keeping. I've only float tested a couple of times (it's that laziness thing that I mentioned above). And now that we are going to have more layers I am trying to be better and keep track better. And also if I sell any, which is becoming more frequent but still on a small scale, I want to be sure that I am giving them the freshest eggs. I'm just trying to be more diligent and productive.

I hard boil my older eggs and then crush them shells and all to feed back to my chickens. I have also scrambled them without the shell to feed back to the birds.
 
A little disappointed. A 77 year old friend came by today and brought his son who is training to be a duck judge. While here, he was looking over my duck flock pointing out the different breeds to his dad.
I asked him about my Saxony named Morgan. He said "He has great type, form and shape to the Standard, but his coloring is not correct. Still a nice drake."

Aw man that stinks. Can coloring be improved or is his like way off?

I scrambled a bunch of mine today and gave them to them but I did give them the shells. Usually I put the shells in with the eggs and cook them together or I bake the shells but today I just crushed them up raw and put them in the pans ha they loved them though. The new chicks loved having eggs for the first time haha

They get more out of the eggs if they are cooked.

Oh sorry if I wasn’t clear in my post, I did cook the eggs. I was meaning the shells I crushed up raw rather than the eggs. I usually bake the shells or something to make them easier to crush and didn’t this time so that was why I said raw. But the eggs themselves were scrambled. :)
