baby duck with lots of problems

[Debs Flock]

Hey, as long as they're not fertilized I have no problems with it. Only issue is, as a call duck, Bean isn't gonna lay many eggs at all! They'll be teeny, too...trying to figure out how the heck to tweak my recipes around it.

I'll send you some ducks eggs to help boost those teeny Bean eggs.

Her's would probably be extra extra small. How did she get that name Bean ?

LOL, Amy, I think you've been misled. Call duck eggs aren't always small. Most of the ones we get are somewhere around the size of what they sell as a regular chicken egg at the supermarket. Some of our Calls lay almost every day when they're laying, though 4-5 eggs per week doesn't amount to a lot if you're using them for food and have only one duck.

You know what this means, right? If you're going to eat the eggs, you're going to need more ducks. That's it, and no way around it.

LOL! Oh man...I'm actually considering selling my home and upgrading to one with a yard. The lengths I go to for duckdom...

You're not alone. We have over an acre and are planning to find something that's at least 5 in spring 2016.

yeah someone who supports me.     I don't think you would eat a finch egg either would you?  


Patty

Heavens no. I could not ever. They are so bitty and when my little duck lays one infrequently, she eats it. Heehee.

 

[Julie Birb]

LOL...hey now!  I'm planning to eat ducks eggs when mine start laying.  Mind over matter, I hope.  Not 100% positive that it won't bother me. 

heehee, u r right Debs, its a mind over matter thing for sure. I've heard Duck eggs are fantastic.

 

[Debs Flock]

Heard from Patti very briefly yesterday. Hope all is well.

LOL @JadeComputerGal - we're all a bunch of duck-enablers, aren't we? Amykins definitely needs more ducks!

OMG I have a tiny Call Duck going through similar problems.. he has deformed feet too which is SO sad. I was able to correct his baby brother's feet but his are worse. Our strong little babies!!
