    Sneaky nester

    These eggs are just starting to hatch and I actually noticed because I found a dead duckling in the yard. I don't know if it died while hatching or if something got it shortly after hatching. Is it dangerous to keep the male near the hatchlings or does he need to be kept separate?

    First time hatching duck eggs.

    I have two ducks trying to share a nest of eggs. What happened with yours? Did the teamwork work out?

    Sneaky nester

    I think she is pretty safe there, but I think she and my other duck are stil laying eggs in this nest. There are two more than yesterday. Do you think my other duck will keep laying eggs as this nesting duck gets more serious about sitting, or might she stop laying for some time. There are 9...

    Sneaky nester

    For the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to find any eggs from my two welsh harlequins, but thought they might be taking a break while starting to molt with the coming spring. Yesterday though, I found one of my girls snuggled up under the old plastic pool draped over the old charcoal...

    Welsh harlequin layed two eggs this morning

    Thanks for the advice. It makes sense that it would be one duck doing both eggs, but I don't know why my other one would have stopped laying. I live in Oklahoma where the weather is always strange but we do seem to be getting the signs of an early fall. It has been a fairly mild summer and we...

    Welsh harlequin layed two eggs this morning

    Today I got two eggs that look just like yesterday's, one big one very small. Today though they were in different places leading me to believe that one of my ducks has started to lay these tiny baby eggs. I don't know if this is a sign of egg binding or some nutritional issue. My ducks free...

    Welsh harlequin layed two eggs this morning

    My two females have each been laying one egg a day for a couple months and suddenly I'm getting only one a day. I can't tell if they are taking turns or one has quit laying. This morning I went out and found this in the coop. I assume they both came out of the same duck but not sure. Is it any...

    One giant egg

    Hello everyone. I am new to my ducks, but my khaki just started laying and one of her first few eggs was really big, and when I cracked it open there were two yolks, is this unusual? Also, is it better if I have two females to live with my one rouen male? I live in oklahoma where the winters...

    Two eggs then Zip

    My ducks were born at the end of April and two weeks ago my female layed an egg two days in a row then no more. What could cause her to stop? Could it be because she saw me take her egg the second day? I have been looking everywhere in case she is hiding them instead of using her nesting box...
