Thank you for the recipe!

I (Ret) cook by the seat of my pants, so I'm bad with recipes. Feel free to reach out for more info. The most important things are to 1) work all that flour in while kneading and 2) roll out the dough babies into smooth balls before shaping! Post pictures of yours (with a duck egg on top, of course!)

They are super easy. We included the recipe on our farm blog (linked below), but we can provide more details if helpful. Just let us know!

Awesome! Cant wait to try. When you say boil each side do you just use shallow water?

I fill a pot maybe halfway. The bagels will float, so you need enough water that they are not resting on the bottom.

2 of my 3 ducks started laying about 3 weeks ago, but only about 2-3 eggs each a week. They are older, 6 and 7 years, and I'm ok with it! They used to lay daily!

I had no idea bagels were boiled.

Boiled and then baked!

It's a little later than usual, but as of this past weekend, our ducks started laying multiple eggs per day again! They are approaching their fourth birthday, and this was the longest break they have ever taken.

Those bagels look amazing. My lazy loafers (who will be 2 years old on April 1st) are STILL on vacation. Two of them stopped laying in early December and then molted heavily. The third kept laying until mid-January and then went on break when she molted. I’ve stopped hoping/checking daily, and have also scaled back on their treats, thinking maybe they are filling up in those instead of eating their balanced duck food and maybe they don’t have the right nutrients to lay. I just want them to be healthy.

Today we had our first thee-egg day from our five girls (we've been having 2/day all week), so it's slowly ramping back up! Time to start thinking duck egg curry, shakshuka, finnan haddie, Oyakodon, and all our other favorite duck recipes!!!! ;-)
