Eggs - Magpie Calls

[LoveMagpieCalls]

How many eggs do magpie call ducks lay a day/week/year? I was looking to sell the eggs once they reach that age and wanted to know if they would lay enough to sell them by the dozen. Thanks

They should lay 1 egg a day each though sometimes they will skip a day or two. And if you collect them rather than letting them go broody you are likely to get more from them.
Please let me know when you have eggs to sell! I would LOVE to buy some from you!

 

[LoveMagpieCalls]

I definitely will! I am hoping to get a male & a female so would you want to eat the eggs or have them to hatch?

 

[learycow]

To hatch

 

[LoveMagpieCalls]

I'll try!

Lol, they are so cute I hope I could let them go!! heehehe

 

[learycow]

Maybe we could swap eggs at some point. Here are some of mine

That would work, but I dont have anything to swap! Getting the new call ducks would be my first experience with raising poultry! Lol. Your ducks are adorable.

I am getting some ducks (they are being incubated by my uncle) and they are due May 22. 9 cayuga/mallard cross and 3 snowy calls

So maybe we could swap once they have laid their eggs!

Thought I'd jump in. I just got my first calls. I hatched one and bought the other two.
