So next year you should be swimming in eggs. I gave my duck eggs to my sister-in-law to try as well since she's allergic to chicken eggs. Hopefully she can eat them.

My allergy to chicken eggs, is mild. I can't eat straight eggs, but I can eat them in baked goods with out too much trouble because I guess it's broken down enough? I don't know. I get sick if I get Mayo - I get like heartburn and GI troubles when eating mayo or straight scrambled/fried/cooked eggs. In baked goods, I don't get those symptoms.

So, hopefully it's mild enough of an allergy, that the duck eggs will be the key to success. Some of the duck's supposedly lay as good as chickens... so maybe I'll get lucky. We will still HAVE chickens, of course, but I may focus more on a duck flock long-term, if it works because I miss eating eggs and having mayo.

That's good to know. We'll have a total of 8 of the RSL hens, if all make it to adult laying. And then 6 EE hens. And, I will be adding more down to the road... Once my silkies or cochin's are big enough I may let the broody raise a batch and see what I like doing better. (i.e. incubator vs. broody hen.)

Our newest batch of babies, with the polish crested are super flighty/nervous. The cochins and RSL that's mixed with my polish are nicer and less frightened, but despite daily handling, our polish crested seem to hate us. LOL They run away and squeak if you try to hold them

A few.

Are you trying to confuse me?

Yup

She can't even eat them in baked goods. My ducks (only 1 who is laying) has been laying consistently.

/me is irritated. I'm trying to get ahold of the scheduler for the MRI department for pediatrics. She was supposed to call me back last week, and won't call me back, answer her phone, etc. I get it's a gigantic hospital, but since his MRI is like 6+ months overdue to begin with.... UGH.

And, now I also know how my son responds to general anaesthesia, and it wasn't pretty. So I'm even MORE positive I need to talk to their team for his MRI to make sure they do the simplest options first, and only use general as a last resort.

Having him wake up from it and hide under the hospital bed and scream for hours while biting and attacking the nurses, was not fun, poor little guy.

The broody raised will be more like chickens., the incubator ones you will be able to handle more and therefore like you better

Try giving the polish haircuts

Sure! I don't have a roo for her, though. She's under the hona roo right now and her babies are GORGEOUS. She's been under EE and HRIR, also. Her babies always come out fluffy and blue.
