Coup? Coup d'etat? Are these chickens from South America?

Update on the chickens.
They are all feathered out, in their newly completed coop, and happy as little ...... chickens can be.
Made a feeder out of a 5 gallon bucket and a waterer too, works like a champ.
This.. is an excellent project and I think will be a great thing for our family.

Eating duck eggs? This is news to me. I didn't know anyone did that? How does the taste compare to chicken eggs?
Been a lot of years since I've had 'em, and the memory fades. It's "different" is about all I can say. Not necessarily a bad thing, especially once you get used to it; kinda like eating bison vs. beef. I understand the taste varies a lot more from species to species. It should also be noted that duck eggs are higher in cholesterol, fat and protein than chicken eggs. Their cooked (scrambled or fried) texture is also much firmer and drier than that of a chicken egg.

FYI: I have been quiet in this thread due to issues related to permits/chickens/and the people's republic of Bloomington. I will say more later. Enough to say, my wife is beginning to understand why I slid libertarian and would rather live in the county.
You asked for permission instead of forgiveness, didn't you?
Bad TechRes! Bad! You know better!
Not I.
I said: Let's just live like free people.
She said: No, let's do this the right way.

Then it went down hill...
