Check with requirements of your state Ag & Markets people, but small-scale
sale of duck and goose eggs to Chinese restaurants can pay a few feed bills.
I'm getting $2 a dozen for duck eggs, $4 a dozen for goose eggs.

It also helps to keep the population down -- my happy well-fed guys are
laying like crazy and I'll have plenty of babies thanks to the well-hidden
nests (one of the down sides to free-range or pastured birds on a big
pasture, and my Rouens' tendency to drop those eggs wherever).

If I don't find enough of those eggs, my friends at the restaurant will also
take butchered ducks. It took me a while to find a butcher with an
operation that was legal for resale (and within a reasonable driving
distance), but I did it.

I've also been making lots of wonderful pound cakes and freezing them. The
incredible, edible egg...
