Goose or duck pot/dummy egg needed

[Margaid]

Hi folks,

I need to get hold of a goose or duck pot/dummy egg - plastic would be fine.

My hen keeping friend and I want to make some pot eggs at our pottery class but need a large egg to make the mould as there's a lot of shrinkage in the process.

I've not had much luck looking on the web - apart from some on ebay in America.

Anyone have any ideas where we could get one in the UK?

Thanks.

Thanks dorsetduckowner. Unfortunately there isn't a store anywhere near us and I can't find them on the website. it doesn't look like they do mailorder either so I'll have to keep looking.

I prefer the china ones:

both great stores

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately a hen's egg is tto small to make a mould from as the clay shrinks by 10 % - we have some old china ones we could have used. Found some solid plastic duck eggs on Solway Feeders which, when shrinkage is taken into account, should give us hen size eggs. It's just fun to make our own pot eggs - will probably make some in terracotta clay.
