New to chicken keeping, they are almost 20 weeks old and haven't started laying yet. Raised specifically for providing eggs, but I have developed this horrible fear now that I'll crack open a half developed egg. Here's to hoping that passes really quickly.I, myself, am looking forward to eggs. Number 2 reason for getting ducks! I’d have no problem eating their meat either - though I’m not going to slaughter them - so it would depend on how they will have died.
On a side note - I also made my kids clean the fish they caught before they ate it. Just a part of being at the top of the food chain - for now!
