So my grandma is one of the only people in my family that have taken a large interest in my poultry obsession. Ive had ducks since 07 and just got geese last summer.
Well since I sold 50+ of my ducks in August and only have 8 scovies left she does not get as many eggs from me as she used to. My One female goose is also getting ready to lay.
So she is very very intersted in my eggs as she blows them out and makes ornaments out of them. Well seh happens to have her "own" ducks. Three muscovy drakes and a ton of wild mallards that asre at her local neighborhood pond. There are also canada geese that hang out there.
Well the other day we are stopped by the pond she she can feed "her" boys some whole corn as a treat and she turns to me and says
" I really wish i could figure out where these mallards and geese have their nest" She says innocently.
Looking at her out of the corner of my eye I give a curious " Why would you want to know that?" Knowing where the conversation was going I gave her my full attention, waiting for the words I knew were coming.
"Well I just want to see how many eggs they might be laying..." SHe wont look at me as she carries on in her innocent tone once more.
"And why would you need to see them to know that when I can give you the answers?"
"Well I want to see how many they might be able to do without."
Grandmas. NOW - I let her know how illegal that was and that if she did something so outrageous i would disown her and she wouldnt get any more of my eggs. ( Not really but it was a good threat at the time) So even though she wants to, I know she wont. Im still going to keep an eye on that pesky old grandma of mine
