I we have 7 good looking ducklings cooking in their shell (by cooking I mean growing) and 3 duds. They were all taking up about 2/3 of the eggs so I wonder how far along that is.
So Daisy our Rouen duck lost her mate about 2 weeks ago to a fox. Well today we found her sitting on about 8 eggs. Some are definately from before he got killed and some are recent (maybe 3 or 4) She lays 6 eggs a week when she is in the chicken coop. The only time they were left out is when...
I have a video with my neighbors bantam crowing and then mine crowing. Her rooster crows way louder and kinda crazy compaired to mine. I'll post it tomorrow.

So I got 2 ducks two weeks ago one is growing like a weed the other is having issues. It has a hard time walking and can barley hold its self up when in the upright position. Most of the time I find him on his/her back and have to flip it over only to fall right back over. Here is a video maybe...
