Im getting reday to put my duck eggs in


Remember set mallard derived duck eggs today!!!!

Good luck Nate! I love baby ducky photos.

Ah but do they actually lay more in the long run?

Ok, so, long run. You mean life span of laying. Or...all together..laying. If they lay almost an egg a day, for 3 yrs..would that count/makeup for a chicken that lays an egg 2 or 3 times a week for three yrs.? I'm bad at math. he he...just givin ya a hard time..love my sexlinks...and I love my pure breds too. That's why I have a mix.

I'm saving my incubator space for chicken eggs, but I put Runner duck eggs under several silkie hens today.

What's the best way to clean mucky eggs? I just bought some EE eggs for the HAL and some of them are pretty dirty.

Well I sold off 6 young cockerels today. Didn't get but $2.00 a pieces for them but that's about a bag of feed to feed the rest of them. If I had taken then to the auction I would have had to feed them another 3 weeks and then most likely gotten two dollars each for them but would have had fees and commission on them so I would have gotten less anyway.

It looks like 6 of my 13 3-week old chicks are cockerels.
