Somebodys laying eggs!
I got 1 peking and 1 roan ducking the end of april. Someone layed an egg last night. I have no reason to be but I'm throughly delighted!
I'd didn't think they would lay without a male around for some reason.~July 19 saving goal for event $104/$1000

Duck eggs don't taste that good for breakfast but they are great to bake with!! I have boys and girls so I incubate mine since they are definately babies in them - baby ducks are the cutest poopinest little things there are!!

I'm thinking about getting a male around january to make babies next spring/summer.
I didn't even think about eatting them but I guess we could. Do they taste radically different?~July 19 saving goal for event $104/$1000

No just more potent!! Very rich tasting on their own. Just so you know - ducks aren't very good at sitting on their own eggs - they have a better hatch rate if you incubate them - your boys will absolutely love incubating them!! They hatch in about 3-4 weeks. I have pekins, swedish, and quackie campbells (lol). I want to try call ducks one day but I guess they are pretty spendie.

never heard of that breed! Thanks for the info Kimmee.
I got 1 more egg this morning, washed it and put it inthe fridge. Maybe I'll use it in some apple bread.~July 19 saving goal for event $104/$1000

Congrats on your first egg. We don't have ducks, just chickens. Still my kids get a kick out of gathering them.
