I can't bring myself to eat her first one. It sounded like such an awesome idea at the beginning but I've gotten so attached that I would correlate eating one of her eggs to eating her. It makes me want to cry thinking about it. Perhaps if/when the excitement of her laying eggs wears off then maybe but I'll have to cross that road later. I would like to at least find out if they are fertile or not. Daisy is a SA drake and I've read that the fertility rate of Muscovy eggs with Mallard-derived ducks is low. If it's not fertile, then yeah I guess I'll be ok with it being eaten.Are you letting her hatch it, or will it be omelette?
Grats, btw! I remember how I felt the first time I found an egg from ours last Spring!
