Your livestock situation sounds like us in about 5 years (already got the "40 or so" chickens... I think people like us just stop counting at 40). We've only got a few ducks, but that's because we don't have a big water source for them... which is my project this summer (digging a pond).
>Hope to sell more duck eggs but most of our customers are still chicken eggs fans
I don't really get this at all. The duck membrane thickness is a little annoying, but aside from that I tend to prefer duck eggs. Though farm fresh eggs are better than store bought, so maybe that's good enough for people. We got a boiled egg for my son from Buc-ee's a few months back, and he hated it lol. We all tasted it and though it was pretty bland and bad; we've been spoiled on homegrown!

At first I thought duck eggs tasted differently then my wife stopped telling me which was chicken or duck egg and now I can't tell the difference.
Just a bigger yoke and more vitamins and protein in duck eggs... And better for baking
Keep us up to date on your pond project
