There's one HUGE problem with duck eggs........................I CAN'T GET THEM!
The little old German lady we had our dear lease with, cooked me duck eggs without telling me. .......Pop knew it. I thought it was just good farm fresh free-range chicken eggs. Those eggs were just absolutely amazing. That was the only time I ever got duck eggs, Melda, the little old lady, would save duck eggs for me when she knew I was coming. She was so sweet! She truly loved children. She and her husband never had children. She would have been a great Mom. I always helped her go feed her animals. That's not just what's in the barns and pens around the house. She had 6 other properties with a few places to feed at each one. I only went with her on the close properties. She had 3 or 4 further off that took the whole day to do. She did this day after day. She was knocking on 80 when something happened when she was out feeding and she stranded and exposed to the elements.. She recovered somewhat, but never went back to her farm.
Sadly, she had offered me a good deal to become her foreman after her long term one had passed. While enticing, I had already 'tasted the world' and I just couldn't imagine being stuck in one place.......forever. Looking back, I should go back in time and bitch slap myself! LOL!
