My brother spent months selecting the right duck variety for his zone 4 woodland riverfront homestead, opting for them over chickens for a number of reasons including maintenance requirements and predator resilience. After painstakingly building them a perfect coop and hatching some ducklings, he raised them for a year only to find out upon excitedly eating his first egg, that he is allergic to duck eggs! Such a tragic yet funny story. He now has a lovely coop of chickens in addition to his 'decorative' river ducks😂

There is something about the shots with an ocean of ducks that brings me immense joy 😊

We raised ducks for years, here at Downeast Thunder Farm in Maine, USA. We sold duck eggs to a selective market but would donate any excess (not sold) eggs to a local food pantry. Once while making a delivery to the food pantry, a local patron there asked me what "those" (huge eggs) were. I told him they were duck eggs. He asked me: What do you do with them?" I replied: "Eat them." He then asked: "How do you do that?" I replied: "I use a fork."😁

Asian communities love duck and quail eggs. They were my best customers when I lived near the city and they were always so happy to have found them offered! Always good to reach out to communities that use them in traditional dishes! My Indian coworker would drive 2 hours one way to get lamb meat once a month because it was only available in two cities in our state. Marketing is definitely key when offering niche products!

Duck - the “slug slayer” and an “egg layer”. Any way, great content right there, it’s heart warming to hear such care for the environment. Well done!

All those ducks running out of their tunnel into the open field was one of the cutest things I've seen in a while. I love ducks. They're so adorable and hilarious.

Beautiful farm.... we need more people like you in the world. best wishes for continued success

What a great family. Never stop having high ideals and lead the way for others to follow!

I made scrambled duck eggs unknowingly once for my granddaughters. My daughter in law asked why they were so yellow, and when we figured out I'd used duck eggs, my granddaughter said they were the best eggs she'd ever had. LOL

The first time I ate duck eggs I thought to myself, my god, this is the Rolls Royce of eggs. I couldn't find a better way to describe it. It was absolutely delicious, rich, complete, and way way better than any chicken egg I've ever had. Duck eggs rule.

That must the best looking and cleanest duck farm I've ever seen !

It’s a dream of mine to have a much smaller scale version of this kind of farm; one that produces just enough to feed myself and those dear to me, as well as a small amount of excess to gift to neighbors. What a beautiful and inspiring farm!

I never considered ducks as a sustainable and holistic part of raising things. Thank you for the insightful advice and quality upload

I don't know what it is, but there is something just profoundly charming about a flock (herd?) of ducks running onto some fresh forage. I have three runner ducks that spend most of the year in my vegetable garden on 'slug patrol' and picking the bugs and larva off of potatoes and brassicas. It was a revelation to me when I realized they could exist inside a vegetable garden without destroying everything like chickens! We also let the ducks run around on the lawn and they are basically local celebrities in the neighborhood. Thanks for sharing this video.

Parc Carreg farm’s approach to producing sustainable food from the land is truly inspiring. Their method of combining ducks and blueberries is a perfect example of how nature can work together to create a self-sustaining system. By allowing the ducks to forage in the blueberry fields, they naturally control pests and fertilize the soil, which in turn helps the blueberry bushes grow. This not only provides nutritious food for the ducks but also produces high-quality blueberries without the use of harmful pesticides.

I loved this film, this story, the music and images! This great couple are living out my fantasy farm life - blueberries, ducks and sheep! Duck eggs started to become a sought after ingredient in Australia about 10 years ago when people started hearing about the enhanced nutritional value of them compared to chicken eggs. So I'm wishing Josh and Abi the best luck and I hope they know that some of us are green with envy.

Those sheep have full bellies and are already in a new range with fresh grass. That's the life they live for - from a former shepherdess.

As a person who is allergic to chicken eggs, I am very grateful of the duck egg producers. I love to bake, so happy to have duck eggs available.

You and Abi have built a beautiful farm, well done. I really enjoyed the video, thanks!
