How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

3. The Pekin was sitting on them but no eggs were hers.

That was nice of her to use her voluptuous Pekin body to keep the eggs warm while the real moms did what they needed to do

Hopefully they will all be moms again in 23 days.

Duck eggs make for wonderful Frittatas! Even with just 2-3 eggs per day, they add up fast. I just used up quite a few!

Well now, you can’t just tell us about their little feets and saucy expressions and NOT provide pictures!

Oh they're adorable. Lots of work here, but I'll try to get some pics tomorrow. Even with cleaning their brooder every couple hours, it's not fit for company.

3 eggs. Ther was a fourth one but it had no shell. This is the second one in 7 months our Pekin had done that.

I got one egg from ebony and I got a surprise today when I candles and found one of the six eggs I set last week came up fertile! Super excited

I had to bring a couple inside. It's really windy out. I really want to get some pretty outdoor pics before they get too big to look like new hatchlings.

Meanwhile, we got another "hatchling" early this morning. First one for mommy, and for us as well.

Recipe?

Basically, there‘s no rules in that you can add what you want. The frittata I made had chunks of cooked sweet Italian sausage, sauteed Vidalia onions, potatoes, Parmesan cheese and beaten duck eggs (mostly whites beaten with a little milk).

I sauteed the sausage and onion together and boiled the potatoes until cooked (skinned and sliced into chunks first). I then placed the chunks of cooked sausage, onion, and potato in a baking dish and poured the beaten eggs on top (enough egg mixture to just cover everything). I then sprinkled a bunch of shredded Parmesan cheese on top and baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes (until firm). Then, I placed it under the broiler until brown.

The duck eggs are superior to chicken eggs as the Frittata stays together a lot better (and of course tastes better ).
