Oh my stars, they are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Yep bigger eggs would stand out even more. Ya gotta get some geese Sonew, or ducks!
Shipping would probably be more expensive than raising your own. But don't forget to read the post "the truth about ducks" HaHeHa!

LOL...oh no geese for me at all but I do have 1 special big fat duck named "Chuckie"-he was supposed to be a fertile chicken egg I bought off of BYC-then she turned into a he!!!

he's a crested magpie and a girlfriend will be here for him by Spring!!!

A friend of mine is or has already a female white pekin baby-she is going to raise it for me through the winter and we will meet in early Spring-she lives 6 hours away and Im traveling there within an hour--

I hope it all goes well...If not..then Ill have to do some fast searching for a girlfriend-or "friends"

Oh my gosh, he is probably the coolest looking duck I have ever seen! I love the black crest. Cliche' or not you had to call him Elvis right?

haha--nope "chuckie" believe me I was not expecting a duck-I had never had one nor wanted one-when I bought the eggs-I was told there was not a chance of a duck egg and low and behold the last one to hatch was him! I was literally throwing the egg away when it peeped in my hand! I threw it back in bator and I thought because the egg was green that it was just a big EE egg that was late on hatching but by the next morning-a duck bill was out-I had to help him hatch out because he was stuck real bad and when he unfolded in my has=nd out of the egg-i teared up and fell in love!!! this was him 1/2 hr after hatching

the next day

3 weeks old

4 months old

6 months old is the first picture I posted-he's 7 months old now and a doll-gets along awesomely with all 45 of my chickens-and follows me everywhere-he lived in my bathtub for the first 3 months of his life-pee-you I cleaned the tub out 4-5 times a day-we live on a pond and he had that to swim in but hes scared to death of it and loves his little baby pool-what a sissy!!!

He is very special. Lucky woman. Oh man, living in your tub. I love my ducks, but they stink! I just put my 3 muscovies outside with my lone pekin girl. She is loving them and the company. It is sweet.
