We were invited friends house for dinner last night. My wife brought potato salad. I like lots of eggs in my potato salad. We had a couple of dozen duck what in the fridge so my wife boiled up a dozen and added them. It’s about half by volume hard boiled duck eggs and it’s delicious.
My wife makes pumpkin pie with a full lard crust from our pigs and duck egg pumpkin custard. I will dig into it hot from the oven and eat it like pumpkin pudding with bits of pie crust floating around on it with a blob of bourbon whipped cream melting on top. It pisses my wife off because the rest of the pie collapses so he always tells me not to touch them until they are cooled. Grrr…
not to yuck on anyones yumm, but for this guy, right here, with my two thumbs, i can't deal with hard boiled eggs, i like hard fried, i like scrambled, i can't deal with runny or hard boiled eggs, at all, the runniness due to the change in liquid/gellatinous constitencies i think, and the hard boiled from the overpowering sulfur, just can't deal
I mean, if you are versed with keeping poultry, them they’re pretty easy. But most people aren’t farmers lol. Exotic breeds like muscovies can be problematic in the winter because they’re susceptible to frostbite, but a good coating of Vaseline on their caruncles and feet keeps them protected for a few days.
Fair enough. We have a small house that we keep our ducks in over the summer. They have a nice yard with a small pool. In the winter we have a pen in our chicken house with a separate door and separate small yard where the ducks live. We will the pen with straw and it has a Cozy Coop panel to keep them warm on the coldest nights. The chickens also do a fairly good job of keeping the house warm on all but the coldest nights. They have a pair of Cozy Coop panels up near the roosts at one end of the house and we can stick a little ceramic box heater in there if it gets stupid cold.
