Duckling
We, like last year, hatched some ducks this year. Also like last year, all but one died. Also like last year (This time I just copy-pasted it so I did not have to type it again, then felt obligated to tell you that, then felt obligated to tell you that I felt obligated to tell you that… well, yeah, um, I am good at getting stuck in loops like that, and now I have typed an entire line or two so just to say that, and by now it would have been less effort to have just typed it…), The duckling follows me around like a shadow. NOT like last year though, I did not name the duckling Shadow. Anyway, two days ago, the duckling went for its first swim! Also, it LOVES a weed called plantain. But only if I pick it first, and if I don’t, it will just nibble at me until I do.
Before we all the types of the birds that we have now, I always wondered if all of their eggs tasted different. However, they do not really vary in flavor, only in the size of the egg and color of the shell. Chicken eggs are the smallest, and ours are white and from breese chickens. They have a good texture in both the whites and the yolk. The turkey eggs are the second smallest, and also second biggest, which is suprising, considering how big they are. They have basicaly the same flavor and texture of chicken eggs – Unless you attempt to turn them into golden eggs, whick is just a egg that is mixed in the egg by spinning it around, while you hope it does not make a mess, and then hard boiled.-. Duck eggs are the largest. They have the same texture and flavor of the first two types of eggs, but duck eggs have a bigger yolk than chicken or turkey eggs.
