I believe we are on day 18. She is still sitting on them. I guess I should expect some hatching in 10 days? My kiddo's are super excited about it. I am really excited to see if the goose egg hatches too. She has been sitting on it the entire time so crossing my fingers.
My goose has taken over my ducks nest today. My duck is not a very happy mamma about it either. She keeps going to the door and quacking at the goose. I guess they are both going to take turns sitting?
Thank you. I guess we will wait and see what happens. I dont want to take them away now if they have babies in there. I just couldnt bring myself to do something like that. We have plenty of room for more duckies :)
I read over and over that Pekin ducks make the worst mothers. Well someone forgot to give my girl the memo. For the last 5 days she has been sitting on the nest that she made. I know there is atleast 4 eggs in there. She only comes off to eat and drink. She has a very neatly made nest with lots...
All three of mine are very big. When I got them I was told one was a male and two were female. But I was not 100% until the females developed the lobes and started laying eggs. My male guards alot. But none of them are aggressive. They live with ducks and they all get along fine.
My dear goose has been laying an egg consistently all week. She is 21 weeks old. This morning she "stole" my ducks egg and put it in her nest. Is this normal? Also should I go ahead and take the eggs from her or leave them be until she is done laying. I dont want her to sit on them because A) I...
My goose (21 weeks) is definitely the one laying the mystery eggs as you can see in the pictures. They are no bigger than the ducks eggs and since this is the first time I actually saw her do it I am not sure over the past 2 weeks which ones she laid and witch ones the duck laid. I know for sure...

All the eggs that are being laid are the size of an extra large chicken egg. Some are smooth and some are more rough to touch. This is the first time I found two eggs. Just over the weekend I found two more. This one you can see one is bigger but the on Satuday they were both basically the same...
My size comparison it is the same exact size as the other duck eggs. I googled to see if there was a huge size difference between duck eggs and goose eggs and it seems there is. So by size alone it looks like a duck egg. That being said I have been told that its impossible to be an additional...
I just cleaned the entire area on Friday. All new bedding in both houses. I collect the eggs every morning and number them because I have a lady that takes them once a week. So I can say for a fact it was not a forgotten egg. I really believe that it was a goose egg but I am repeatedly told that...
Yesterday morning I collected my duck egg. I only have one female duck. When I got home from work my mom told me there was another egg is the duck house. Well normally my duck dont lay her egg in the duck house. She has a little hole dug out in the ground where she lays. She has been laying an...
