Do you think the egg looked like that because it's her first, or because she or aflak beat it up? We dont have any nesting boxes in there, is that something I should build for her?

Because of bacteria that can get in once the egg is cracked or broken. Most likely someone stepped on the egg it may have a thinner shell since it's a first. usually duck egg shell are very hard. So I bet you'll see a good one tomorrow then you can eat it.

Do you put out oyster shell ?

I do put it out, but they've never eaten any of it. Hoping for a good egg tomorrow

We got another egg this afternoon, intact! They act way different now, spending most of their days outside the coop, even in the intense wind we've had for the last couple days. Now I just need to wait for a couple more months to get 2 more ducks and we can start hoarding dozens of eggs

Did you eat one yet?

Not yet, maybe today. Got a third egg this morning too!

I like that the duck eggs are richer or more creamy tasting (at least to me) and the cake my wife baked the other day made with just duck eggs seems to be lighter and more delicate. I don't eat eggs daily but I'm becoming a huge fan of duck eggs!!
Bon Appatite!!!

We fried up both duck eggs and had them with pancakes. They were awesome!

We are a bit concerned come spring, when we want to bring in 2 more ducks for egg making. Last time we did that, we had a dry spell for over 6 months, lol
