ooby_dooby: What kind do you have? The ones in my pic are Rhode Island Reds, about 3-4 weeks old near as I know.
BTW, eating hatchlings must be like eating shark fin soup. make soup out of the fin & throw the whole shark away. What a waste!
A hen can easily lay 1200 to 1500 eggs in her lifetime, where is the economy in eating a hatchling?
ZOMG!
They are gorgeous!
You're not going to eat them are you?
My friend DeeDee had a lamb, fluffy.
Then one night her parents served lamb chops.
We ATE fluffy without knowing.
I asked for seconds.
I'd become a vegan but I love Duck Eggs and lets face it, Cows were put on earth to be eaten.
