Daily Duck Egg Report for 2015

[Miss Lydia]

When they get broody. Then it ceases being cute and can likely be classified as a weapon of mass destruction....

Boy ain't that the truth, you have to be careful not to stand too close behind one when dealing with a broody.

I swear they aim for me out of spite!

Ducks will do what ducks will do. Five of my 14 Cayugas consistently lay eggs in the nest boxes. All but one of the rest lay their eggs in little nests they scoop out of their bedding. That 14th one holds on to her egg until they are out in their run and I have found hers on top of a bale of hay, in the kiddie pool, half buried in mud and somehow under a rock. Go figure.

A rock?!?! I got a khaki egg today but haven't found the pekin egg yet. It's like Easter every day! Only they eggs aren't brightly colored..... And are usually covered in mud.... Guess I'm going to have to start looking under stuff too!!

Well, FINALLY! Got one green-tinted egg from my Anconas today. I noticed one of the girls vocalizing while poking around under a bush. I think it was one of the youger three who are about six and half months now. It was a bit on the small size, but it also looked a bit like the ones my older girl, Pebbles, usually lays. Please!!! let this be the beginning of the season. I have missed those eggs so dearly. Had to resort to store-bought eggs, which seem tiny and tasteless even if they are 'organic' and 'not caged'.

Slice of toast, slice of Monterey Jack, some spinach sautéed with onion and garlic in olive oil and a poached egg on toast: quite possibly my family's favorite dinner.

yup! I think I know what we are having for dinner!!
