So I wanted to ask about breed averages on eggs?
And some in particular I'm more interested in than others.
When I look on the internet some books and even some internet articles are quoting vastly different averages per year of eggs for the same types of breads than other sources. I find this confusing.
One published book quoted runner eggs being around 100 to 150 a year. One quotes runner egg averages at nearly the same number as Khaki Campbells. And I've seen several around 180 a year. But Khakis and runners are supposed to be related, so how could their averages be so far different?
And that's not counting others.
The runners and khakis seem interesting on averages. I'm particularly interested in these. But the ones I have in my backyard appear to be Pekings and Khakis.
But I wonder what you think on what the egg averages really are like (per year)?
I don't think it helps to find the sources on the net so different from one another, like completely different ball park ranges.
Thanks for any advise on this.
Ducks are really funny. Today I got them to follow me around part of the day and they are still young. I'm doing this with the feed training thing. Its kind of funny how they have some personalities to them. The khakis seem more alert to me than the pekings; stronger instincts, but at the same time more false alarms and fleeing.
