i seem to have aquired 7 ducks 6 hens and one drake .all wing clipped .i mentioned to a pal last summer that i was thinking of having a few for eggs in the spring and then selling the eggs on as hatchers or eaters. i can get 20 or more from each hen by fiddling her clutch setting.or sell the chicks .anyways i came back tonite to find them in a crate on my doorstep with a note .you owe me a £10 for the crate or bring it back when ya passsing

. thy arethis years hen chicks and a 2 yr old cockbird and they look tastsy as well so is it eggs or roast duckling :? decisions decisions
