San Miguel beer in quantity makes them much better! Sounds like Kimchee on the cabbage - I love that stuff.

So far the main guy that wants them said he did not care what species they were, he said he would buy chicken balut as well he told me he would rather they only be incubated for 12-14 days on the ducks the chickens he has to ask someone. So I am probably looking for a prolific egg layer,WH or khaki campbell ??

Steve, you're an interesting person!

What are you trying to say Wynette?

Ask Sharon and she will confirm 100% never a dull moment around here, and always the endless question..... "what is he up to next"

Indian Runners are the best layer ducks we have, they are steady an egg a day even now in the heat of the summer.

I used to have Khaki Campbells, they were prolific layers, the eggs were white, and they laid year round. They tend to get the eggs muddy, and you really have to scrub to get them clean, if the customer is wanting porcelain white. They lay year round, seems like they slowed down or stopped for molt, just like chickens, but it's been several years, and I don't remember for sure. If you have a male or two in the flock, you'll have fertile eggs, the drakes are...shall we say, very active.

Mine had a little plastic wading pool to play in, they really love it when you change the water. Apparently the sight of fresh water is an aphrodisiac to ducks.

I can't stomach even the idea of eating balut, and thinking of killing the partly formed embryos kinda turns my stomach. But I eat meat, and I raise and butcher my own. I guess if you incubate the eggs, and take them out of the 'bator at a certain point, and let the eggs cool, the embryos would probably fall asleep and die, peacefully unaware. I can think of worse ways to die.

or sauerkraut! i'm a fan of most any fermented cabbage.

No, I love sauerkruat, and kemchee is ok, this stuff was green, slimey, had red colored salty fish in it and smelled bad enough to knock a skunk off a gut wagon. And it was bad, I mean everyone tells me I've got cast iron stomach and I just couldn't eat it. I like to try new foods, especially cultural dishes, but even I have my limits.

"knock a skunk of a gut wagon" <--- hilarious!

wow, yea that definitely doesn't sound like any version of fermented cabbage i've ever had. or ever plan to have for that matter.
