YO GEORGIANS! :)

[Mylied]

I made pickled eggs for the first time. Tasted them this morning. They are a solid no for me. But maybe someone with a more sophisticated palate would like them.

I know this has been asked before, but are any of you down towards Brunswick?

No, sorry!

You could try using Brunswick as a keyword in the forums search box and you might get lucky with finding nearby BYC members.

You're brave. But then I dislike pickled anything. I'd probably get used to it if we didn't have refrigeration so much & it was one of the few preserving methods.

My baby ducks came today! 1 Black Runner, 1 Chocolate Runner, 1 Blue Runner, 1 Khaki Campbell and 2 Cayugas! All females! So cute!

Can I ask where you got the Cayugas from? I ordered some ducklings from an Ohio hatchery thinking they would have a shorter trip. The hatchery neglected to mention they actually get their ducklings from California & 5 of mine died in shipping (3 out of my 4 Cayugas and 2 out of 6 Welsh Harlequins.) I have been desperately trying to source closer Cayugas but have come up empty.

I love a lot of pickled things. Eggs aren't my favorite thing to eat (blasphemy on a chicken forum, lol) so I should've known better.

I got them from McMurray Hatchery. I knew they came from a different facility because they required a separate shipping fee. But all 13 ducks arrived alive and healthy! Mine are growing like weeds! I do, however, think one of my two Cayugas may be a male. It is twice the size as the other Cayuga. I ordered all females, but it may be interesting to have a pair.

Well if you wind up with a pair let us know if you have any Cayuga ducklings come along! People in the area have been looking for some but they are only available mail-order in this area (other than a farm I found in Pink Hill, NC but not sure yet if I want to make the 7 hour drive.)
