These duck eggs are for consumption or for incubation?

We will gather 36 eggs this week. Then I will post here.

Thanks for this offer. Btw when transporting the eggs, is it ok in an egg tray? To secure the eggs.

Hello Oz, glad to finally 'meet' you...

So, about a month or 2 ago I was asking some advice on a compost area from a certain Finn, and he pointed me in your direction. I live in middle TN and he thought your setup might be closer to what I am looking for.
Once I found your thread, I deemed it only fair and respectful to start at the beginning.
Wow... I am speechless on how to express my thoughts and feelings on how much you have gone through and accomplished in the last 2 years. A huge congratulations for the final adoption of your gorgeous children!!! And I am pleased to see that you are still in your onward march of Chicken Philanthropy in the Philippines, all started by a morning of no eggs with chickens running around your yard, lol.
Also, I am so glad that by the time I reached the current time there was something I could actually add my own .02 into. Go French Blue!
When you have the time, I would love to know a bit more about your compost setup, please. I saw the pics, but would like to know how you handle drainage and airflow or is it not an issue?
Thank you very much for sharing your great adventure and I wish you much success in it's continuance!

The remodelling is looking great! My vote was for French blue. White can be a bit blinding in a sunny climate.

Sorry Oz, couldn't bring myself to vote..... I kept thinking: "Why just one color"? As I recall, the P.I. is a very colorful place. Or, to put it another way - I like all the colors - just not all one color. However, I suppose there's "economic" considerations to consider....... I really like the green of that plastic (?) screening you use, though - it seems to pop.

I like the green on the mesh also but I dont like it as much on lattice (of which I have seen painted in every third world color)

multiple colors is not a consideration at this stage. We will save the scrap paints for brooders and such.
