Thanks for posting. I've been a naysayer on this for years. Now, we just have to ask what are the odds in a given pond. Interesting stuff. I tried to replicate this years ago. I bought a duck at the local flea market; killed it and drug feathers and feet through bluegill nests. Then "washed" them off in a small pond with no fish in it. No fish hatched/appeared but I wondered if water bugs could eat the eggs. I started to try it again in an aquarium but wanted to use pond water instead of well water. The problem there was that I really had no idea what was in pond water.

A consideration is that they say it is possible under lab conditions with a controlled environment. .

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
