fake eggs?

I get eggs from either strombergs or even from an advertiser in the
game bird gazette. (Check on line--Punch up "Gazette") If you're
interested, spring is comming and I usually loose some day old mallards
& wood ducks if you want a more interesting mount. I get $10. ea for
day old woodys, which can be freeze dried and done up with that hen
just great. Birds are starting to look for nest sites here in California
so it won't be long. If interested, get back to me. Bob Fresno CA.
