I'm not in a postion to take any just now, but hopefully in the summer, do you breed these or are you just letting some go? Thanks

I am just letting some go, I had a big demand for duck eggs so hatched these from eggs off ebay but now demand has dropped off and I don't really need them now. People are very fickle they buy eggs all summer and when you explain that they will go off the lay during the winter but come spring they will be laying again they don't come back.

I've found that with my hens eggs too.  I was going to get more hens but not going to now.

I also have too many eggs just now, as one buyer is on a diet, the other one away for 4 weeks and others I don't see as regularly as last year...I thought of trying freezing eggs in batches (scrambled or separated) as the next winter will be coming and I had weeks with no eggs. I would love to have ducklings or chicks again, but this and ending up with too many boys has put me off... :&>
