Raising Ducks for Eggs on a Delta Farm | Duck Farming the Old Way

Raising ducks for eggs on a delta farm, one working day from the bulb in the shed to the morning market. Duck farming the old way, on foot, with nothing but hands and time. The shelter opens while it is still dark. The flock spills onto a harvested rice field and feeds the way it always has — golden apple snails prised off the stubble, bright pink egg clusters on every stalk, small fish in the muddy water. Duck farming out here costs nothing. Then the part of raising ducks for eggs no machine can do. Ducks build no nests. Each one drops her egg where she stands, so they lie scattered white across the straw and out among the cut rice. Duck farming here means walking that ground bent over before sunrise. The crate rides a motorbike down the bund to market. Duck farming on a delta runs on the paddy around it, season after season. If you are thinking about raising ducks for eggs, this is what duck farming really looks like — and why raising ducks for eggs starts long before dawn. 00:00 raising ducks for eggs 02:50 how to raise ducks 05:20 golden apple snails 07:00 harvesting duck eggs 08:40 duck farmer New episode every Tuesday and Friday. #RaisingDucksForEggs #DuckFarming #DeltaFarm
