Hello!

[stowle72511]

I'm new here. I have 2 Pekin ducks that are 21 weeks as of tomorrow. One male one female. My female just had her 1st eggs today 3 of them! I'm curious as to what everyone does with the 1st eggs. I read that you should throw them away cause the 1st eggs are when the female is getting all the gunk out of her system. Is this true?

I've never heard of not eating the first egg, but it is up to you, as to whether you want to eat it.

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you.

I've never heard of that, but I don't raise ducks (only chickens). I'd definitely check out the duck section of these forums for an accurate answer.

I have never heard of that either. But you might wait for a response in the duck section.

Enjoy your ducks and welcome to our flock!

hello and welcome to BYC. I don't have ducks but, that sounds like an 'old wives tale.' You could crack one open and see if it looks like a regular egg.
