    Duck Eggs Question

    Thank you! How long would you generally let them continue to sit on eggs past the approximate 'hatch date', before maybe taking the eggs away?

    Rescue Fly Traps and Predators

    Hi there- does anyone have any experience with the Rescue Fly Traps? I bought a couple and hung them tonight, but now I am worried that they may attract bears onto our property- I didn't realize they were quite so stinky! We do have bears out here but so far they've stayed away. Thanks!
