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

:fl

A plastic bin or cardboard box lined with foil and paper towels and a cookie cooling rack for a top with a 75 watt light suspended above works pretty good for a short term brooder.
My grandmother would use an old wash tub (round tin) with 1" hardware top next to her wood stove. Sometimes put a tea towel over the top to hold the heat.
That's a good idea. I have dedicated brooders/lamps, I just need to get them out and cleaned up—they're still in storage outside from last year. I recently got new storage bins so I can now keep my offseason chick supplies inside. :yesss:
 
Working on Christmas goodies...
Made Aunt Bill's Brown Candy yesterday...3 pounds.

Making one more batch today.
Then making the dough for the pecan crisps and freezing it to make it easy to cut the 1/2 inch squares for baking.
Tomorrow will make the almond toffee.
Too bad two of the daughters are on the KETO diet.

Look what we got today!
This is from NormaJean, Annabelle’s duckling. Her first egg. Awwww and it’s green shelled! Xena and Annabelle lay white eggs so I definitely know it is hers. And the other 2 haven’t laid since they started to go through their molt. I’m assuming they will start back up closer to spring. I didn’t expect NormaJean to start laying during winter but surprise! Now I need to go catch up again. I’m behind Lol!
