How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

3 normal eggs and one GIANT egg that IMO should count as two.

We are down to getting just 1-2 duck eggs a day now. I am ok with them taking a break. Their neighbors (the good for nuthin chickens) haven't given me any eggs in ages.

I will be taking that walk of shame tomorrow. 🤨

No friendly neighbors around whom you could ask for some good eggs?
Prepare for a nasty assault on your taste buds! - I am no longer able to eat store bought "eggs", they all have a fishy aftertaste for me.

Its definitely the year of the dino egg. I got 6 but also got my first dino egg since Sue died. I'm really worried someone else is going to lay themselves to death. Something went wrong with my breeding, I meant to get lots of eggs, not dino eggs. These are three yolkers.

What if you reduce the protein in their food? Could that help preventing them from laying those dino eggs?

No eggs to be had from neighbors. I have found that most store eggs give me HORRIFIC stomach pain.
The ones from Vital Farms do not cause issues so they are the ONLY ones I will buy from the store.
Not talking gas but actual real pain through the entire digestive system. I do have 36 duck eggs so that will hold me for quite a while. Hubs however doesn't like them fried so it's store eggs for him til my girls get rolling again. Winter solstice is getting closer which should see my new girls reaching laying age.

They just get their 16% chow and peas for treats. I don't think its protein. I think I have a genetic issue. They are half runner and not large ducks. I was breeding my prolific egg layers to prolific egg layers. They are all young layers so maybe they will work it out before they prolapse their vents. My goal was a regular egg a day not 3 yolker dino eggs. Sigh! I do have a new drake to dial things back. This is the first generation I've gotten dino eggs.
