Sustainable NE Seattle Edible Garden Tour - Part 3
Did you know that ducks will lay an egg a day for at least four years? That's a lot of eggs when you have three ducks. 1,095 per year to be exact. I was surprised how chatty ducks are. They had a very entertaining conversation with their owner while I was visiting. I might need to add a couple of them to my menagerie. I wonder if they like chickens?

A thousand eggs per year? Knowing this makes me love these creatures even more!
