That's awesome to hear, and I'm very glad the raspberry has begun to reward you for it!
What kind of ducks are you raising? We raise muscovies, ourselves. Please feel welcome to share about them over in !Animals and Pets
We've got a melange of ducks, khaki Campbell, blue runner, swedish blue, Cayuga, and Ancona. My favorite might be the Anconas. Although, our khakis used to be very skittish, our drake just lets me pick him up now though lol
We actually got our first egg this morning!
I've heard muscovies are great producers, great foragers, and great reproducers. Has that been your experience?
Oh wow! And congrats, that first egg is always super exciting even when you know there's more to come.
The muscovies have been great for all of those things, yes. There are several weeks each year where I've got to follow them around for an hour after letting them out just to keep them from hiding clutches from me though
