We just got ours in October and they only started laying around Easter so havent sold any yet or given any away but we may have to! And my brother also took a dozen eggs a couple days ago so we actually have more than 3 dozen but 3 dozen here. Plus 2 dozen store eggs my mom got that have been in the fridge weeks cause no one likes store ones after having had the fresh ones lol so make that 5 dozen

when only 2 or 3 were laying daily we could keep up but now it's between 6 and 8 every single day PLUS my parents were in Florida from Sunday until yesterday so they weren't eating them and I used up one whole dozen almost (2 left) plus some of the fresh ones with scrambled eggs, omelettes, French toast, but they produce faster than we can eat. Fortunately though I just remembered I got a bunch of egg recipe books before I got them so will have to dig those out and get reading and cooking LOL

that's nothing

that's nothing

Compared to some of the amount of eggs I've seen people set on here, I believe it

Though we only have 8 and only one or two people eating them at the moment so they get backed up. I have a feeling though that if we had been eating them daily we would have no back up but that hasn't happened yet hah

I love white peafowl... So pretty! I have hatched India blue and black shoulder, such amazing birds!

My Mille Fleurs have a high fertility rate...my Polish Banty's are another story....out of 12 only 3 veined...sigh...then the new incubator decided to act up. So they are sending me a new top.
Just kinda bummed

Sorry you're not getting good fertility from your Polish Bantys and the new incubator decided to act up. I hope the new top arrives soon.

Ok. Hands down my BEST hatch ever!!!!!
I started with just shy of 6 dozen eggs. That's a mix of 11 duck, 7-8 EE mixes, 7 splash bantams, 12 of my questionable eggs regarding fertility and the rest were a frizzle/Cochin mix. I had about 15-18 clears including 6 of my ?? Eggs I put in to hatch with the ducks (next Friday) and only 5-6 that quite early. 2 eggs I tossed because they were rotten (one

blew up in my hand

) and only 1 looks to be a non hatch.

All in all I still have 6 ducks and ?? Eggs going strong and almost 40 chicks hatch!!!
