The secret to keeping duck eggs in a nest is never pick them all up. Always leave one behind and they will return to the nest every time. I can’t trick my ducks with fake eggs so I try to remember which one I left yesterday and pick that one up so they don’t go bad.
ya its a total myth thry wont use nests or they lay in filth on purpose. morgan is an example of why ppl believe lies. they refer dry clean fluffy shavings and if they have a choice will always pick a clean dry nest.
Not to mention, I accidentally stepped on a duck egg as a kid, and that momma chased me a quarter mile at the least and pecked/bit the shit out of my legs until I was bleeding like crazy. Hens are much more forgiving.
100% agreed. Everytime I clean my ducks little pool thingy, I find like 4 or five eggs IN the water lol. Chickens on the other hand always lay their eggs in nests while ducks just don't care where they lay them lol
@@Padraigp lol my chickens lay eggs in their nest thingy that we make but our ducks rarely do lol. Tbh tho our ducks almost never go in the coup so maybe that's why they don't use their nests
@@burbzilla oh yeah i guess so. My friend has a shed he locks them in there at night to keep them safe from foxes and they have food water and then the only place to sleep is their little pile of hay where they lay their eggs and in the morning they all run out to create mayhem and he gets the eggs.
@@Padraigp ah ok I see. Well my ducks have a 660m² area or like 7000 ft² in which they just walk around all day. They never go into the coops, but our chickens, turkeys and helmeted guineafowl (i know that's a weird name, had to google it lol) always enter and sleep there, or on top of trees sometimes
@@burbzilla oh that sounds lovely. I guess if theyre bot forced into a space they will just lay rogue ones. My friends have to be in the shed at night cos there are dogs horses mink and pine martins and foxes everywhere. My neighbours both got their chickens all xxed recently even though they had fences. But not very good ones. I would love to get some chickens but i have dogs and they would love to get chickens too. Sounds like youve got a nice little zoo going on where they can all roam around. Sounds beautiful.
Ducks do nest, I collect eggs from the same 6 nests every day year round. You just never take every egg, if you do the ducks think it's no longer a safe spot to lay and will make a new nest. Always leave an egg or two behind and they'll keep using that nest.
My grandmother loved duck eggs too. They had a small farm and so they had some eggs. My dad would get a far off look in his eyes every time he recalled her cooking with them! Amazing egg noodles and cakes!
I had a small backyard flock of chickens, and one heritage breed turkey; she was a. bourdon red. She laid as well, not as prolific as our Chickies, but I did come to like turkey eggs!
@@groyperfuhr4871 the usual trick with eggs is to hold it up to a bright light, and the more the light is blocked from shining through, the further along in development it is. It’s more a sliding scale than a yes no kind of test though, so you’ll have to practice doing it until your reliably get it right.
Careful using steaming hot water. You are actually slightly cooking the outside portion of the egg. It has not been scrambled and is therefore still connected to the inside of the shell. So that portion of the egg begins to cook at around 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Most sinks can more than comfortably exceed 135 degrees
I think it has more to do with grain/feed. Ducks are excellent in rice fields for pest control. Rice fields are also very wet. Perfect duck environment. But our grain focus in America has been corn, oat, wheat, etc. Instead. You'd be hard pressed finding chicken feed without those things in it but ducks don't really need them the same way and sometimes chicken feeds can harm ducks as a result. Geese were well utilized all over because they graze (look up cotton patch geese). The problem is chemicals and machinery took over the job of geese so people became less interested in them (more expensive to feed and longer times to mature than chickens, limited egg window, do not handle confinement well - as you've noticed ;) ). Chickens simply eat our most prevalent waste materials and handle being in crammed cages the best for factory farming. As an aside: My ducks don't really poop up their eggs as bad as yours seem to?? Try giving your ducks their own special nests. I cut those 55 gal plastic barrels in half lengthwise (with one end open for the duck to shuffle inside) and leave those for my muscovies. They're too low down for geese, chickens might try to use them - but my ducks LOVE them. They feel much more secure and don't get harassed by the geese while trying to drop eggs. The eggs don't get poopy from roosting chickens or passing birds either.
Yo Morgan that's really interesting. It reminds me of a discussion before on either a History subreddit or TH-cam channel - like how we don't know what eggs were being used in the really early recipes. Knowing that duck eggs are generally harder to "keep" gives a bit more substance to a lot of our eggs having been chicken eggs for a long time.
I guess it depends on what's most convenient regionally. I heard a story in recent years about chicken farmers switching to ducks in areas affected by flooding.
Reminds me of how I just discovered that the prevailing ketchup in society used to be made of mushrooms, but tomato ketchup became popular because it was able to be kept unrefrigerated. The mushroom ketchup tastes almost like worshchestershier sauce
We always had this problem with our ducks. They are ground nesters so they tend to lay their eggs in muddy, high-traffic areas. We found that scooping out nesting areas from the ground kept the eggs concentrated in a few different areas, rather than all over the coop/run. They were still dirty, but it was less of an Easter egg hunt every morning. We added some hay into the dips to keep the eggs from getting wet in the mud too. The mamas don’t seem to poop on their own nest, but will definitely poop on others’ nests, so possibly reducing the density of ducks in each coop may help with the egg dirt. A dusting of Diatomaceous earth in their feed will also clear out any parasites which are causing the eggs to be laid dirty, if that may be the case with some of your birds. The parasites don’t allow the hens (both chickens and ducks are called hens) to completely close off their large intestine when passing the eggs, which leave the chicks/ducklings vulnerable to infection upon hatching from a feces-covered shell.
Well you actually answer the question I had recently we were talking about the whole bird flu saying it hitting chicken population pretty hard and I was wondering if it wouldn't be better off trying to switch some of our chicken to duck production so I guess I was thinking more in terms of meat than in terms of eggs but in a way I feel they go hand-in-hand
you should only wash eggs right before cooking them btw! when you wash an egg, it removes the bloom which acts as an extra protective layer for the egg and keeps them safe from germs and other contaminants that the egg might come in contact with. commercially laid eggs will have the bloom replaced with a thin wax coating to substitute
In case anyone is wondering a fried duck egg on top of a wood fired sausage, caramelized onion and calabrian pepper pizza is life changing. Thank you for harvesting those duck eggs.
As soon as you wash an egg, you remove the "cuticle", a natural coating on an egg that prevents air & bacterial contamination. Eggs are porous & it's recommended that they shouldn't be washed 🥚🍳🌞.
If i remember correctly chemistry class from 20y ago, egg protein starts to break at 58°C which is scolding hot in american units so i guess some warm water in short intervals wont hurt them 🤷♂️
I've helped take care of ducks in a large backyard. Most of their eggs were clean enough to keep and eat without any washing. Unfortunately US regulations prevent selling of eggs like that even though they are safe to eat, never need refrigeration, and last for at least a month. Of course some of the eggs are laid places where they are not safe to eat, in mud or water. Our ducks would make nests, under trees/shrubs, in stick piles, and overgrown grass. The eggs in the nests would be relatively clean, although would probably disgust someone who has only ever seen store bought eggs.
I keep ducks. We wash before we use. We never use hot water on them, then store. On top of getting rid of the protective bloom. Cool to tepid. The heat promotes bacteria growth. Cool scrubber though. Love to know where to find it!
Just so that people understand; there are different kinds of ducks. Egg production breeds of duck all derived from the Mallard. There are also Muscovy ducks which are a separate species. Muscovys don't lay as much as production breeds but I find my ducks always lay their eggs in the nests and keep them relatively clean.
My duck eggs are not dirty just like my hen eggs are not dirty. I clean their nesting boxes out once a week, also every 3 months I deworm my chickens and ducks with Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade. Everyone that I give my eggs to are so super surprised my eggs are so clean. I tell them to gently wash them as they’re ready to use them, no reason to refrigerate. My opinion you should wash them even if they look clean but don’t have to until you’re ready to use them because they’ll last longer and you do not need to refrigerate.
Education time: Ducks and chickens have a cloaca, which is a combined intestinal/reproductive tract. So when they lay eggs, sometimes they get a little poo on them. But the GI tract is positioned further down, so you'll never get poo inside an egg.
Don't let this misinformation turn you off. Ducks are different than chickens but this just isn't true about the eggs. People just don't take care of ducks and treat them like chickens.
Automatic scrubber, I have a similar one but I used it on cleaning parts of whatever item I was restoring. If I still have the box ill come back and leave you the proper name of it
Oh man you got the good setup. I recently became a mom to three baby ducks. I've been watching a lot of videos to get information. Trying to study to make my little set up the easiest I can on myself and really good for them.
Your egg collection is mysterious to me. From most of your videos, it looks like you only get maybe 5 a day from the whole farm. But here, you've got many. Maybe I missed a video that would explain this or I haven't put some things together. haha! 😁
I usually grab eggs 2-3 times per day. I'll end up with roughly 12-18 duck eggs and 12-18 chicken eggs per day this time of year. Usually you see the morning egg collection. Also, we get a lot fewer eggs Nov-Feb vs March-Oct.
Unfair. Ducks have bigger feet and are always in the mud searching for insects. Chickens don't like getting into the water as much and have thinner toes. LOL. I love them both and have had both at the same time. Just make some duck nests for the ducks to use and not just the geese.
I mean culture probably plays a part to it too - once people get familiar with duck eggs (culinarily speaking) they'd want more of it, shortcomings aside 🤔
I mean, always always wash your chicken eggs just right before you crack them - I have chickens as well and they may not look dirty, they did come out a poop shoot 😂
There really is no need if the eggs are not washed to begin with - I'm in the UK, where we do not wash eggs at all. I've never ever home washed an egg, I don't keep them in the fridge and I've never ever had any issues at all.
XD I love duck eggs! The current American Chicken eggs are vegan fed birds and the yolks are neon yellow and the shells crack with any pressure. Protein!
I LOVE the buttery quality of duck eggs. I buy them at the farmers market when I can afford them. The woman who sold them told me how ducks are "neurotic", leaving their eggs all over, including in mounds of poop. She said they had to scrub them under boiling water like you do. Thanks for your dedication to fine cuisine!
I kept my coop clean and my duck eggs never had poop on them. Duck eggs have a natural coating on them that prevents bacteria from entering the pores of the eggshell. Washing the bloom off just shortens the shelf life of your duck eggs. If your coop is dirty and you get poop on your shells as a result, gently brush it off dry with a scotchbrite pad or nylon brush.
Does running it in hot water effect viability at all if you are prepping them for incubating? And for the ones for eating does the heat begin to cook it a lil bit while you do it or no?
This is actually a real life example of a thought I had a few years ago. I figured that a lot of people that are either off grid or self-sufficient will start figuring out reasons why modern-day society does things the way they do with their food related objectives.
I'm Mississippi when I was young in the 70's, I would take Odie(an old sharecropper) a stringer of bream. He would give me a basket of chicken, duck and goose eggs of all colors. 👍👍
Eggs should not be washed; the shells have a anti-microbial layer that protects against disease. Washing can remove that layer. See US Vs EU egg regulation for more.
Is the hot water truly *enough* to thoroughly clean and sanitize them? I feel like there's gotta still be stuff left over.... especially if the water isn't hot enough to burn u?

I don't remember our Indian Runners pooping on their eggs much at all. They just pooped everywhere else, constantly.
Our duck eggs are also pretty clean (visually) they kind of just lay them outside anywhere the grass is long though so they’re not on the coop floor.
There's tons of rice fields in America, it's one of the major exports, but it's true we don't use it for animal feed

Facts. Also chickens are slightly smaller so big farmer can fit more cages in their sheds for battery farming.

That is good to know. Thanks!
XD I love duck eggs! The current American Chicken eggs are vegan fed birds and the yolks are neon yellow and the shells crack with any pressure. Protein!
I didn't know! Ty for awareness and demonstration 💙 Surprised about running under hot water 💧 Ty
I LOVE the buttery quality of duck eggs. I buy them at the farmers market when I can afford them. The woman who sold them told me how ducks are "neurotic", leaving their eggs all over, including in mounds of poop. She said they had to scrub them under boiling water like you do. Thanks for your dedication to fine cuisine!
I have used duck eggs and a little washing doesn't hurt. I was glad to have them when I needed them.
I kept my coop clean and my duck eggs never had poop on them. Duck eggs have a natural coating on them that prevents bacteria from entering the pores of the eggshell. Washing the bloom off just shortens the shelf life of your duck eggs.
If your coop is dirty and you get poop on your shells as a result, gently brush it off dry with a scotchbrite pad or nylon brush.
Does running it in hot water effect viability at all if you are prepping them for incubating? And for the ones for eating does the heat begin to cook it a lil bit while you do it or no?
Adorable silkie 😊
The fact that the duck's just pop a squat and lay eggs wherever they want is so ammusing to me for some reason
Ducks providing easter on the daily ❤❤
This is actually a real life example of a thought I had a few years ago.
I figured that a lot of people that are either off grid or self-sufficient will start figuring out reasons why modern-day society does things the way they do with their food related objectives.
I'm Mississippi when I was young in the 70's, I would take Odie(an old sharecropper) a stringer of bream. He would give me a basket of chicken, duck and goose eggs of all colors. 👍👍
This is why Mike O'Hern charges so much for duck egg embryos
Ayoooo those chickens are equipped with designer feathers 🥶🥶🥶
I tried duck eggs several years ago and fell in love with them. They're worth the extra work.
Bro needs a drink he’s got shakes lol
chickens-"im gone sit on my eggs"
ducks-"im gone shit on my eggs"
That egg cleaner is cool!!
I've never cleaned my eggs... hold up 😅...
Holy Duck eggs Batman! What is that scrubber thing-a-ma-jig you are using???🐤🐥🐤
I love that egg cleaner you have.
you’d think after all these years we’d breed some ducks that aren’t fuccin pigs! 😂
Bro is cooking the eggs pre-scrambling/ pre hard boiled 😂😂😂
This man is quackers
I'm so excited to have a fenced duck yard soon. I will finally be able to collect eggs from a small space instead of two acres.
Variety of contraband you got there.
*_Hot water? You are pre-boiling them._*
America this is what happens when you raise prices on eggs
Eggs should not be washed; the shells have a anti-microbial layer that protects against disease. Washing can remove that layer.
See US Vs EU egg regulation for more.
Vinegar water helps clean/sanitize them! I do this method for quail eggs😉
What is that egg washing device you have?
You are looking great and fit!
We got ducks at the local park..they are BIG POOPERS TOO...but yesterday i saw a momma with 13 ducks following her.
Dude…. I NEED one of those egg scrubbers!!!
My backyard ducks left clean eggs. Because they could roam freely and find deeply hidden spots in the weeds, to hide their nest.
Is the hot water truly *enough* to thoroughly clean and sanitize them? I feel like there's gotta still be stuff left over.... especially if the water isn't hot enough to burn u?
That's some mighty hot water.
