So we have finally been enjoying our duck eggs for about a month now. We are very grateful to the Chupps for giving their science project to us. They hatched the ducks and then they needed to find a home for them. Our children had been talking about getting some ducks even before we moved out in to the country. So with only 1 month to go before our 4th baby arrived, we moved the ducklings out to our place when they were about 1 1/2 weeks old. They were so cute.
With getting 3 eggs most days now we are pretty sure they are all females. Some days are amazing. Now taking care of the ducks, is part of the boys chores. They love to do it though. Evan feeds them and lets them out to roam the property and Ethan takes care of the bedding and they both bring in the eggs in the morning. Most of the time we let the ducks free range. So they get lots of grass and bugs. One morning we had a surprise.
Yes that is a duck egg next to a normal size chicken egg. Ever since that day we have been getting an egg like this once a week. Dave made eggs this morning for breakfast and which he thought was going to be 2 eggs turned out to be 4. Now that's what we are talking about.
