After posting we were still getting eggs, the hens are only 2-4 a day now...I bet I will find some more again when I get the rake out.....and what a suprise....I took Ben up the garden to let Islay eat her extra food in peace and found 44 Duck eggs hidden under the Holly bush, some covered over with leaves...it was Ben who found them for me otherwise I would not have noticed....TOmorrow I shall rake around to see if I can find anymore Hens eggs.......little :&> :&> :&>Bu****s!!!!!

Did you stutter when typing that or did you REALLY mean 44??????
-
Yes..there may be more..I got fed up and needed to get the rake to have a better look as the Holly was getting tangled in my hair...may find some Hens eggs yet...
-
Goodness me! you didn't mention THAT on the phone earlier! What are you going to do with them all?

Errrrrrrrr(http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-013.GIF)Cake!!!!

a bit risky in summer, i chucked a load away that i found, but winter might be ok, i break them into a glass first to check...... i once took some hard boiled eggs to work once for lunch, i peeled one and there was a fully formed chick inside.

(http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Disgusting/vomit-6.gif)well my OH is taking some to work as a college keeps asking for DUck eggs...fingers crossed xxxxxxx (not kisses, fingers)
-
very very risky i did that about a month ago, i gave them to someone and they were all off
-
Presumably you can test them same as hens eggs - put in a glass of water - if they float they are 'off'

There in a bucket and we are waiting!!!!!!!!
