William is very proud to have his duck eggs on sale in school. £4.50 for a box of 6, with £1.50 from each box going to Yanwath Primary School funds.
William started his egg venture in 2021 to help him with his dyslexia, he only had a handful of ducks and geese back then, now he is 9 and has over 150 ducks and geese and is a fully fledged business supplying shops and businesses as well as private customers and his farm gate sales.
Goose eggs are also available.

Happy to see the start of the melt here and will hopefully have a working hosepipe in a few days ππ€© the ducks and geese cannot wait to have all their pools back to regular and the stream back in liquid form π€£
Everyone was kept warm enough throughout the freezing temperatures and the only casualty we had was one goose freezing herself to a patch of ice on the yard ππ she was freed and just lost a few feathers and was slightly embarrassed to be the only one to make that mistake π¬π€£

Talking to these young ducks nicely to see if they would consider hurrying up and laying some eggs π€£π¦π₯
Once these girls start laying nobody will have to wait long for their egg orders. These white ducks should be laying before winter and all our other breeds and ducklings will be in full lay in spring.
There is some of our other young ducks laying now but there is a waiting list for eggs currently.
Luckily our customers agree the taste of our duck eggs are worth the wait π€£π₯°ππ¦π₯but this waiting malarkey will soon be over ππ€π»π¦π₯
