Our Wood duck finally started laying.

Will you allow her to naturally incubate the eggs or put them in an incubator?

Hopefully she will sit them. Last year was her first season and she laid 5 eggs on the ground all over the place, 2 were broken and 3 I incubated with no success. later she laid 5 in the box and sat them but only 1 hatched. When fall came I found 2 eggs in another box I never saw when she laid them. I'm hoping for a better season this year.

Good luck for a successful hatch.

The Wood duck is a battery powered outdoor one around $50 for 1 camera with the router for 4 cameras. This video of our Hooded is an indoor one the V2. It's half the price I make sure to keep the camera and plug out of the weather. They can be a little glitchy but they are 100 feet from the house. We have another outdoor and a V3 coming soon.
