MoChara 1,632 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 We'll nothing special about them but I love them! Most I hatched out myself. No heirs or graces about them. Coops opened up in the morning and that's them free run of the place until dusk when they're shut in for the night. I like to call them my farmyard specials lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I've found my ducks lay better than my chickens. Ending up with half a dozen duck eggs, selection of chicken / bantam eggs and a goose egg most days now. The dogs are even getting sick of them! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 yes I have to agree ducks here lay better than hens lol I mind last year I had so many eggs I had no idea what to do with them all! I'm a big believer in not wasting them (bloody work that goes into animals here no fecking wasting anything) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
