Thread: Duck eggs help

    Default Duck eggs help

    I am looking for duck eggs does anyone have any, I tried the butchers but they said they are gone as fast as they come in. We did hear about a farm selling them near Wick but they had none when I went past so I just wondered if any orgers have ducks and would be willing to supply me with a dozen a week?? It's getting funny now cos the more I can't get them the more I want them, hubby thinks it's hilarious......

    I saw a sign for duck eggs for sale at a house in Bower, the house has a funny name Parmerero or something, you cannot miss it..
    Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.

    I can usually get as many duck eggs as I want - but I live near Reading. Try Tescos.

    The house is called paremoremo and the sign is not up all the time as she does night shift, so she only puts the sign up when she is not sleeping through the day.

    I have got duck and goose eggs from Harrolds butchers in Thurso. I did have to wait a couple of weeks though 'cos they had to get them in and then take them through from the Wick store. They were f-a-b and the kids loved the goose ones! They certainly didn't need two of them.
