I will do now..they pay for theirselves at the moment but with the extras I will have profit...and the local butcher cannot get any duck eggs so that's another outlet for my duck eggs with swaps for sausage or whatever..think I need to incubate some to get more laying ducks..nice little sideline to my fulltime job as a mechanic and have plenty of regular customers who want my eggs. Not gonna retire on them but will have some tax free cash for a change  :roflanim:
