    First eggs - there are four?

    Hey all! I have four ducks - two Pekins (one drake) and two Golden 300 Hybrids. It’s been nasty rainy here in the PNW for two days, so I stupidly let myself be lazy and not clean the run for two days. OF COURSE, I come out this afternoon to clean, and find FOUR eggs in a little nest. My these...

    1 day late. What do I do?

    I have duck eggs that are 1 day past the 28 day due date. I can hear them squeaking but none have piped. How long do I wait? When if at all should I intervene?

    “Betty” was clutching her eggs. I though she had stopped laying all together.
