Finally, our first egg this morning! I'm so excited & proud of my Wanda (our Delaware). It was right in her nesting box and really a beautiful brown egg. Yippie!!!

It will happen. Wanda is 25 weeks old today. How old are yours?

 

[4hens4us]

Have to show it off. Smaller egg on left is from Wanda this morning! One on right is from the (gasp!) grocery store - I had to buy a dozen yesterday since I thought this was never going to happen. Hopefully, last dozen I'll ever buy.

I have three who are 23+ weeks (2 Orp/Del, 1 Orp/EE) and three who are 20+ weeks (1 Orp/Del, 2 Orp/EE). One of my 23 wk looks like she should have started laying 10 days ago but I have looked and looked for eggs and none can be found - I think she knows how much this frustrates me and is thoroughly enjoying it...

The others look closer but definitely not ready.

My Egg Company partner SAYM took 4 6-packs of duck eggs to the local farmers market and also took some of her chicken eggs. she sold all! she sold a 6-pack of duck eggs for $2.50 and a dozen chicken eggs for $2.50. thats 50 Cents more then we usually sell chicken eggs for!! I wasnt able to go because i was out hunting. speaking of that...

How many Nevada BYCers are hunting?
I was out deer hunting friday-sunday, and am going back out this friday. wondering who else here hunts. Also, other than the farmers market, i havent been able to sell duck eggs, and this was the last market for the year. i know i couldnt eat my ducks, even the drakes, because i have talked to them and givin them treats, etc, and i'm soft like that

so i was wondering if it was worth posting my ducks on the auctions thread, if any Nevadans wanted some. otherwise I'll just advertise here in elko.
