Keep it. You put a lot of time into it and it was from your experience. Plus you have more duck eggs right?

DON'T YOU DARE DELETE IT!

It's a great article that will help others in the future. You could add a section about your experience with ducks and chickens living together (just try not to be biased

)

You've got me on pins and needles with my ducks. I have no where to separate them yet.

I also toss at day 7 Guilty of needing room in the bator and knowing now what to look for, if its not there its not and if its too small to see it has issues anyways!
UNLESS its a dark egg and questionable!

there is nothing so obvious as a clear egg

given they way the orps were shipped, I am surprised. they were perfect in double boxing. they were in usps for 2 days only but egg behaves like its full of water the way it splashes I will eggtopsy them for fertility

Homemade ACV Sharing from Chad on PA thread

Louise's Country Closet
Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar Ingredients:
Cores and peels from 6-8 apples 2 TBS. Honey place the cores and peels in a large, wide-mouthed jar. Used a 4-cup jar, but you can adjust the size of the jar to the amount of apple scraps you’re using.
Cover the scraps with water and stir in the honey.
Place a paper towel on top of the jar, and secure it with a band.
Let the mixture soak for 2 weeks, and then strain out the liquid.
Return the liquid to the jar and cover it again with a paper towel and band. Leave it for 4 more weeks, stirring daily.
Taste it and see if it has the acidity you would like. If it does, transfer it to a covered bottle for storage. If not, leave it in the wide-mouthed jar for a little while longer, checking every few days.

Hmmm seems like there is an easier method. Let me look.

I guess the honey in the recipe you posted would take the place of the mother in the recipe that I posted.
