This morning, I discovered my first shell-less egg. Weird-o! To make it even more ironic, I found my first shell-less duck egg this afternoon. It was huge compared to the shell-less chicken egg I found. I gave them to the chickens to eat. I wonder if they will eat them or not... I think my 4 young ducks are beginning to lay. I've found 2 duck eggs for the last several mornings, and I've found them in really random places - not the nest in the duck house where the older birds usually lay.Must have another new layer in your group. Not unusual. When my mother was still alive I would give her all those type eggs. They will dry out in a short time so they'll just be a shell. She used to use them in tiny artificial bird nests for decorations.
I've been so busy I haven't even had time to read posts. Spring and fall seem to be that way every year. I hate it!! I've got a lot to do today as well. I was gone most of the day yesterday so today is really a catch up and prep day. I plan to butcher some tomorrow and do some more sorting.
Love the weather though!
On the plus side, I did get the yard mowed this morning. It looks WAY better now. I also got some weeds mowed down that had been bothering me for a while but I hadn't been feeling good enough to mow under the trees where they were growing. The yard looks so much better now.
