This is a community for people who are working toward a sustainable personal environment. This includes crofters, homesteaders, hobby, small, and family farmers. Hunters, gatherers, cultivators, and keepers are all welcome.

RULES:
All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.
Everyone (see rules 4 and 98) is welcome.
If you've seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.
There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.
If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We're not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we're also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people's faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don't mark it NSFW it will be removed.
[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]
If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.
Don't be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.
The mod(s) have the final say.
A comment on another post reminded me...
Eggs. I really like eggs.
This is a picture of a bowl of hard boiled quail eggs with pinch bowls of salt, pepper, and paprika. I set them out at a party. They were a big hit.
We had a breeding trio of turkeys a few years ago so we had turkey eggs. I made turkey egg salad. It was delicious.
We always have ducks and I've eaten duck egg salad as well.
I can't find the picture of the big bowl of goose egg salad. If I do I'll post it.
Eggs really are a super food.
You’re making me crave an egg sandwich. Guess I’ll go make one…
I love eggs. I eat eggs for breakfast every morning. My big cat loves scrambled eggs and bothers me for some. He doesn't like fried eggs, though.
How does the flavor differ from chicken eggs? My stomach is curious 🤔😁
Eggs taste like eggs.
I don't like duck eggs scrambled. They are a bit...grainy or gritty. They are AWESOME in baking. The albumen is very stretchy so they work great in breads and cakes. My wife makes an awesome pumpkin pie with a lard crust and duck egg custard. I eat it hot from the oven before it's even set. My wife gets very angry.
Goose eggs are sweeter than chicken eggs. Goose egg salad tastes just like chicken egg salad but sweeter. Markedly sweeter. I served a huge bowl of it at a party with fancy crackers allaround and everyone commented that it was delicious but sweet.
Turkey eggs taste just like every other eggs. Turkey egg salad is indistinguishable from chicken egg salad.
Quail eggs taste like little chicken eggs. They're annoying as hell to eat because they're tiny but they're fun.
Right on, thanks for the info 😁 Imma get some tiny eggs
