We have them as pets but also their tasty eggs. We just have 5 and I am sure glad I designed the house and pond for ease of maintenance. Plus they are super funny to watch run around the yard. The ducks we have are called Indian Runner ducks. They don’t fly they run. Lol

Do they lay eggs like chickens? Without having mated or fertilized them?
Never had a duck or goose egg.
A friend of mine cooked a goose one year, rather than turkey, that was
some Good eatin' there! Both have more fat, all dark meat. I don't like turkey much at all.
I know you said they were pets and here I am talking about eating them.
Sorry bout that @jlsplatts ♥
DAHAHAHA No worries, my family are avid duck hunters. I have 4 hens and 1 drake. Even during the winter months I get 3 eggs a day from them. Chicken almost completely stop laying and they don’t handle the winter cold as well.
You know I am not 100% sure because I have always had a drake or two around. This is our second winter with the ducks, so we are still working on out system when the snow comes. 😉
