    I read some things and apparently laying in water is common. Everyone said to just pen them at night so the egg is accessible. I did that last night and gave them their own section of the coop with a nest area. she didn't lay in the nest but at least her egg wasn't in water this morning and it...

    The papers are temporary i can't get straw anywhere and don't have linoleum down yet. It will eventually be linoleum with sand on top them a thick layer of pine shavings. For now they each have a kennel with shavings to nest if they want to.

    I finally weighed the ducks. waddles still looks alot smaller but they are almost the same weight. Waddles is 4.8lbs @ 7 1/2 weeks and sally is 5.2 I think she may just be a little older maybe 8 weeks instead of 7 1/2. Would it really make that much difference in size for just a few days?
