I enjoyed this video! We aren't permitted to have ducks where we are (and really do not have enough space yet) but I've been researching ducks for our forever farm. With the information you've given, I'll be reviewing my previous notes to possibly add these two breeds into my barnyard mix of ducks. Because of religious objection to eating fertilized eggs, I was actually looking at raising Muscovy hybrids (with certain kinds of ducks) that produce sterile offspring. The sterile offspring would be divided by gender - drakes for the freezer and duck hens for eggs that would never be fertile. I really like Muscovy for their temperment and relative quietness, as well as their parenting ability (according to my research, at least). Anyway - thank you for sharing this information about the Kahki Campbell and Welsh Harlequins.

@bettypearson5570 23 дня назад

On washing the eggs it would probably take less time to get a small aquarium pump, put it at the bottom of a bucket, put all the eggs in there, cover with cool water and a little baking soda and turn it on while you go about other chores. All that baking soda water gurgling about is going to both soften the "dirt" and actually bubble some of it off where all you would have to do is give each egg a quick swipe instead of having to lightly scrub to remove it and it would save water. Just a suggestion.

@MikeTheFitFarmer 23 дня назад

Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

@rcjo2 23 дня назад

The water should be warmer than the eggs. Cooler water makes the egg contents contract, possibly pulling in bacteria from the shell surface through the pores. 😊

@rebeccaplumlee9601 23 дня назад

I'd wipe not wash... Washing removes the bloom.

@bettypearson5570 23 дня назад

@@rebeccaplumlee9601 depend on your intended usage. I made the assumption that with that many eggs and since he was cleaning them under running water his intent was that these eggs were for consumption only whether for his family or for sale and would be refrigerated. Not suggesting that to be the only way to clean, just that is how I would be dealing with really dirty eggs.

Good Evening. Nice video. Ever thought of adding talapia to the duck pond? Talapia likes duck poop. They would get big quickly.

@MikeTheFitFarmer 23 дня назад

Hmm. I actually have not. I will have to look into that.

@donnabradshaw5200 23 дня назад

I was told that you can set posts by pouring dry cement into the hole and the moisture from the ground will solidify it. Would that work in your area? In Indiana it worked well for me.

@MikeTheFitFarmer 23 дня назад

I'm not sure. But it would he very hard to mix the concrete in the hole. And the concrete would probably harden on top but not lower in the hole.

When i had more than 1 of a breed, they kinda "flock" together the runners no matter color, Buffs together... But the lone of a breed would either join other lones or join with closest color/size.

Question for Mike: My one Khaki-C drake, in spring, just mauls the back of my 5 hen's neck, while attempting the mating process... Any advise on how to keep the hens neck clear, as their feathers are now missing.. and skin exposed... Help!

@MikeTheFitFarmer 23 дня назад

Their mating is kind of rough. And the males will grab the back of the head and neck of the females. 😬. I know it may be tough to see at times, but it sounds mostly normal.

@fralinsandfriends 23 дня назад

I remember post hole diggers. I don't remember if I ever used one, but we had a couple. As much as lumber costs these days, any you can harvest for yourself is much more economical. 😊😊👋👋❤❤

@Magalies_Farm 22 дня назад

Have you had a challenge with familiarising your clients with duck eggs vs chicken eggs? One learn over time of the benefits of duck eggs, but in our community it is almost unknown and therefore requires a brand of marketing that need to be next level. How did it work for you?

@patshirey6190 23 дня назад

Do the eggs taste different for each breed of ducks

@MikeTheFitFarmer 23 дня назад

I personally don't taste a difference. But the egg shells can vary slightly in appearance.

@Honeybear822 23 дня назад

I have never had duck or even quail eggs ? I'd like to know Mike what they taste like if you fry or scramble them ? I may invest my money into buying eggs if I could find a place that sells duck eggs if they taste like chicken eggs . I wouldn't be able to raise them for reasons being 🦆😊

@MikeTheFitFarmer 22 дня назад

If you scramble them they are very similar and I doubt many people could tell the difference but when you fry them out the white can get a little rubbery if you cook it at too high of a heat. They are great for baking in cakes.
