I try to be nice to the cat. Not my fault he hates me lol
You just have the wrong ducks for eggs. I got 4 this morning, bright and early at 7, from four ducks. I collect them and get on with the day. With chickens you have to keep goin out coz they lay all through the day, and they will eat them, or the eggs will freeze if you don't collect them soon enough.
Lol that could be! I had runners for eggs but got tired of fishing them out of the creek... Dumb ducks hahaha
But speaking of runners, they don't seem to need as much "swimming water" as mallards or other breeds, as far as I noticed anyway.
I will have to try again with a different breed of duck; maybe I just haven't found THE ONE yet
