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

I've read that they are a middle man type situation, but I don't know all their sources. They just had oe and I could order a small amount of eggs which is all I wanted. And they'd shipped free so I just rolled with it. Other than trying their eggs (twice) I haven't ever gotten anything from them. And I do not know the true source of those eggs.

What color were the eggs you hatched?

She's the only one that hatched and it was a green egg.

like a light olive. More green than my EE but not dark. It was marked f2 also.

Seems like it would be.

I think I am going to possibly add some carrots and/or spinach to mine haha

I rarely use a recipe for anything but inspiration. I make a lot of meals based on whatever was on special at the store or what in the fridge needs to get used up. You'd never know how horribly disorganized it all is by the finished product, though.

Yeah I don’t normally cook too much but when I do I sometimes do the same thing haha

I don’t know why I’m even bothering cooking now since no one will probably eat any of it tonight but oh well. I’ll just eat it all myself haha

I blame this stupid chart! I did just learn the correct term for what I thought was an f2 and it's called back crossing. I think bad info like this is why a bunch of us don't understand what an f2 is. Btw this chart was being used as an example in this thread of how misinformation is spread , as the OP had the same misunderstanding as I did.

The other problem is not all brown eggs are equal. The last I knew, there were something like 11 different genes that could be involved in making a brown egg.

I seriously want to fully understand chicken genetics so bad.
