I used to have about 50 White Pekin ducks and loved their eggs. Almost as big as a goose egg and much richer than a chicken egg. Problem was they would lay them all over the place and you had to float test them and candle them cuz you had no idea how old they were.<<<

I don’t remember mine being so careless with the eggs.

In Texas there were Banty hens that did not live in the chicken house, and they had nests in some of the strangest places.

The loved hiding in the old car parts, in the junk pile, a
Model A fender would be just the ticket for a Banty nest.

Did you ever keep the Indian Runner Duck?

I still want to add enough black to one and turn it into a Penquin.

They are said to be the best egg layer and are very popular in Australia.
