Busy day! First vet visits for the pups, new baby chicks, lots of work in the garden, and a ride on Harley! All of the puppy families have officially picked out their pups which is also very exciting! Hard to believe we only have 1 more week with our babies, but we are so excited they are all going to fantastic local homes! (Well,,, all except 1, she’s staying 🙂)

Happy 13th Birthday to Miss Mora! The one who always keeps me on my toes and never fails to make me laugh. She’ll let anybody ride her,,, as long as they don’t want to go fast, she can open just about any latch (and she will), she never fails to spill your coffee if you leave it within her reach - and she won’t feel bad about it, and she is always first to the gate ESPECIALLY if snacks are involved. Thankfully she doesn’t like to get her feet wet so she keeps those pretty feathers clean. Here’s to 13 years of trouble, and hopefully many more to come. Happy Birthday to the Queen herself, my life would be so much more boring without her. 🖤

If you love eggs, you will really appreciate this post!

Duck Eggs V’s Chicken Eggs 🍳

Duck eggs are larger in size than chicken eggs. The whites in chicken eggs have a higher water content (more runny) than the whites in duck eggs. Duck eggs have larger yolks and a higher yolk-to-white-ratio than chicken eggs.

We have both. Yes, they are different from eachother so I am gunna break it down quick:

🦆 Duck eggs are GREAT for baking

🐓 Chicken eggs have thinner shells

🦆 Duck eggs are larger and richer than 🐓 eggs

🐓 Chickens are prolific layers year around if taken care of correctly but 🦆 ducks are as well with much less light necessity

🦆 Duck eggs stay fresh longer because of their insanely thick shell

🦆 Duck eggs contain 30% more protein, and a different type of protein that 🐓 chicken eggs so if allergic to chicken eggs, most can eat duck and visa versa.

Ounce for ounce, 🦆 duck eggs contain more Omega-3, Vitamins A and D, fatty acids, choline, folate, and iron than 🐓 chicken eggs.

🐓 Chickens lay well for about 1-2 years then dramatically start slowing down production while 🦆 ducks lay a solid 4-5 years before they slow down

🐓 Chicken eggs come in a lot more colors

So there ya have it!
