RE: FINALLY, OUR DUCKS BEGIN TO LAY AS WELL!

in #homesteading7 years ago

I love free-range eggs. The yokes become orange in the summer and have a full, dare I say gamey, flavor after including insects in their diets in the warmer weather. For about three years I purchased them from a family about 3 miles from my home. Our town council voted to not allow chickens in my area and I found their decision disappointing and their reasoning just dumb. They claimed they did not have money in the budget for enforcement. I volunteered to be the enforcer and split the fine money with them, but no takers. You are able to hatch chicken eggs without breeders? I learned that apparently not all chickens hatch the eggs they lay. Too much domestication I read where their eggs have been taken for human food for so many generations of birds that they would no longer sit on them.
