Sounds strange I know but my female duck was dragging her behind on the ground and then starting flapping her wings. She went and laid down under a bush. She seems fine now and is up and around with the others. I picked her up and there is nothing wrong that I can see. I tried feeling around...
Yup, he came home from baseball with my son and as soon as I mentioned it I could tell he put the egg out there! Not nice! I have been waiting and waiting for them to lay their first egg. LOL
I found an egg in the yard this evening when going to put the ducks in their house. I have 3 female Magpies and one Male but am not sure if this was really their egg or my husband is playing a prank on me!!! I have been waiting for these ducks to lay an egg!! LOL
