Meyer also has Ameraucanas. I had a splash chick, but she was a failure to thrive, sadly. I plan to get a blue and a splash from them someday, when my husband gives in and lets me add to the flock again :)
5 eggs today, from all but Juin, who did her part. She took her place in the best nest box and kept the clegg (clay egg) nice and warm for hours… :rolleyes:
I’ve heard that drakes make different sounds from the girls. They’re much quieter I think. I have no personal experience with ducks yet though, which is lamentable. They are adorable! :love
5 today, from Juin, Juillet and the pullets :)
It’s always nice to see a Juin egg. She sits every day, but lays only once a week, which is fine with me.
4 eggs again today, this time from Août, Juillet, Helmi and Brelly.
My Dominiques, Marzo and Juin, just got in everyone’s way by lounging in the nest boxes. :rolleyes:
4 eggs today from Août (?) and the pullets :)
It’s hard to tell if it was Août or Juillet who laid, as I saw both of them sitting in the nest box at different times and one obviously didn’t lay. My intuition says the mystery egg is an Aœûf though.

Juillet had laid her egg overnight in the sand just outside the nest box. Her overnight eggs almost always have this bicolor look with half of the egg being coated in heavy bloom. Pretty neat!
