I spent quite a few years with ducks, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, & finally a horse. Those were absolutely fantastic years! Still have dog, cat & Cedar Waxwing (fell out of a nest). Plus the wildlife around me. It makes life worth living.
I remember somebody kind of turning up their noses about eating duck eggs - but I never could see/taste any difference. Of course these were eggs I retrieved BEFORE the girls started setting!! (goes without saying)
Sounds like a really good life, Kelly. Especially all your "others".
It’s pretty fun

There are rabbits too. One with a snout that makes me think of Charlie Chaplin, though he will be eaten eventually.
My bunch lived to old age - had really great retirement benefits! I've never been able to put someone I "know" on a plate. My bad, I guess.
Did you eat the eggs?
OH Yeah - and duck eggs make the greatest chocolate cakes!
The girls did earn their keep.
Going to try it while I’m here
