How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Beaglegal]

Just got the first 4 duck eggs of the year lol. One was muscovy egg, I always have that one hen who lays early. Usually the drakes are not even breeding when she starts, doesn't matter anyways though because my 3 mature drakes were killed by dogs last summer and I'm left with 2 juveniles and they are to young to start yet.

congratulations

You need the exact amount of ducklings, that if you smushed them together they would fill the Hei Hei size hole he left. That’s a few ducklings I believe

I just read my husband that and he said "I surrender"

My logic is impeccable, I should be a lawyer

So my free egg experiment has gotten better! I just met a neighbor who not only gave me 2 jars of homemade jam but is also going to give me a bunch of loganberry starts. These starts are a variety that have done well in the area for over 40 years... major score people! Who knew a cooler full of eggs on the side of the road would turn out so well? Also this guy had never tried duck eggs and now he’s hooked... win for me... maybe now I can get more ducklings...

I have 20+ you can choose from

I'm shocked I never thought of that. I just told him he had me hold him while he ended his suffering and he stepped on my fingers with his boots. That counts as 2 ducklings.

20+ ducklings? Too bad I don’t live closer

I once told my husband I got a chainsaws worth of ducklings, because he got a new chainsaw

Yeah. I'm hatching them for someone else, but he said I can choose what I like.

That's great. I did get a puppy last year around this time so I'm sure I can get a few ducklings... I just got 8 bantams but one passed away so maybe thats 3 ducklings.
