Hi! I love your coop and your style. It was fun to watch and I look forward to more of your videos. I think your borrowed apron looks great on you!

It was nice to see this video. I first subscribed to your channel when you were making that rock wall, so I've only known your Homestead in winter. It was so cool to see the beautiful green grass and happy pasture chickens...lol. And that was the first time I've seen you not have to bundle up to go outside. That "eggpron" was super cute too. Thank you for the awesome videos! I will continue, and look forward to, watching y'all every day!

When I was a growing up in NH back in the 50's we had ducks in the coop with the chickens to help keep warm in the winter. The hIgh school home economics teacher who lived across the street loved using the duck eggs in class to show students the difference in their cakes.

The french use duck eggs in their dessert because they are creamier and fluffier then chicken eggs! I can't wait to start raising some too! Thank you for sharing the information!

Wow, what a little helper you have. I hope mine turns out that way too!

The family that works together eats together. God bless you, yours and your lifestyle.

very cool channel, you are doing/living the right thing. my very best regards from Germany.

We, too, have chicken and goats and 5 turkeys and oodles of Guineas!! I was wondering if you have ever tried fermenting the grains you give to your chickens (especially in winter). we have a man we get Non GMO wheat and oats from and these are fermented for 3 days in a 5 gal bucket. We also add 3 TBS of ACV and one TBS of Molasses. To say they love it is an understatement. Oh, our Khaki Campbells ducks will be here Tuesday!!!!! Yay! Thanks for showing us all you do! My 5 yo Grandson, Luke and I watch you every day!! He's a big fan too!!!

What size is the jar you make your Kombucha in and where do I find one with the stainless steel nozzle? Also, how much juice did you put into the bottles before adding the Kombucha? And lastly, it looks like she fills the bottles to the top. Do you have any overflow problems with the second ferment with the bottles that full?

All this mention of duck eggs, meat and fat has made me hungry for French food! Perhaps a nice duck cassoulet once those beans of yours are grown! Seeing Olivia help on the homestead so often has me wondering about the FFA and 4-H and whether they cater to homesteading or if there's a modern homesteading equivalent for young homesteaders?

Hi I have a really important question for khaki Campbell duck eggs do you have to cool them down from an incubator

Good Evening Al i raise Khaki campbels here in the uk. Yes they are good for eggs But im not too sure about as a meat bird they are only skinny lol I think as a very good all round meat/egg breed Duck the best bet is Muscovys in my opinion The males get real big plenty of meat and the eggs are of a good size !!

@KelikakuCoutin

6 жыл бұрын

Muscovys are tree ducks. I had a pair for years, both of which laid daily. They should have a tub of water they can preen in, or they'll get dirty and disgusting. They don't need a pond, but really appreciate a place to swim. At least a tub in which they can preen is fine. You keep your poultry in a pasture, so I surmise that they'll be able to keep pretty clean in any case - just being exposed to a lot of grass. You can possibly get away without a preening tub. Also, they are "quackless." They do not quack, and they're very quiet. They can be a little aggressive, but not like geese. They should be "gentled" like pets, which can avoid aggressiveness. I wouldn't keep more than one drake, if any. Also, they'll readily cross-mate with the Mallards. Eggs will be fertile, and produce a sterile "mule" duck. They're nearly twice the size (meatwise) of Mallard breeds (like Runner Ducks or Khaki-Campbells). Also, their meat is very lean, and very low in fat. They have a veal-like meat, very un-ducklike. So, they're not a source of duckfat. It's unusual for them to lay daily like mine did. It worried me and I actually called the breeder who supplied the ducklings. The breeder told me it's because I treated them like pets, and it's sign of contentedness. They'll start to lay at about three months. The eggs are larger than chicken eggs, about the size of a grade AAA Jumbo grocery store egg. The shells are a little harder to crack, and it takes a few days to get used to that. After about week they start tasting the same as chicken eggs. Also, these ducks can handle the cold. They'll go out in sub-freezing weather without batting an eyelash. They can fly, so you should clip a few feathers off one wing (in the middle) every moult. They'll still be able to catch as much air as a chicken that way. They like to stay home anyway. Hope this helped, and I hope you get several females to augment your poultry operation. They have a pretty engaging personality, as poultry animals go. If nothing else, they'll provide you with entertainment. B'H.

My parents had muscoys, They were ugly in both appearance and temperament! We had a small stream running in back of the house about 8 foot wide. Those mean, old hens would lay eggs on the opposite bank just so they could hiss at father and I when we wade across to collect. I'll grant they were good foragers, that stream was full of crayfish and minnows before the ducks took it over. So a duck breed that has a good disposition, can be raised in a wash tub, quacks instead of hisses and stays within the poultry fencing and not make every day an Easter egg hunt is alright with me. I'll leave those vulture faced brutes to those who can appreciate their unique character (and flavor).

Odd question but what kind of wood flooring do you have in your kitchen?

OMG where did you find the glass bottles? They are super cute and if a nice size. Do you have a link for us to purchase? Thanks

What is in the glass container that you are adding to the cranberry?

In my experience, when rendered, lamb fat burns cleaner. It's better than many other animal fats for torches or lanterns. Beef, pork, and even chicken fat put off a lot of soot when burning, but lamb fat puts of very little soot.

I love duck eggs! I have chickens, quail, pheasants, parakeets, and ducks. My ducks are mallards, so not to many eggs for me😭
