In a peaceful countryside, raising ducks is not only a source of income, but also the pride of many families. Our story began with a simple dream – to turn duck eggs into a stable and sustainable source of income. Step 1: Harvest duck eggs Every morning, when the sun had just come out, the farmer began his work by inspecting the duck house.

Note: Duck eggs need to be harvested immediately after duck laying to avoid bacterial contamination or damage due to the weather. Step 2: Select and classify eggs After harvesting, the eggs are thoroughly inspected. Only eggs that are healthy, without cracks or defects are selected for incubation. Unsatisfactory eggs can be sold directly as food. Classify: Eggs are divided into two types: incubated eggs and consumed eggs. Consumed eggs are sold immediately or processed into dishes such as s...
