I just found 2 duck eggs!! WOOT WOOT. So excited because these are my first eggs EVER. I want to let her build them to see if she goes broody but since we are expanding the coop and putting a cement bottom in that wouldn't work. Still, I'm super excited! Now I just got to get my quail to lay!

Oh @rayray I'm fortunate that my sweetpea lays in the same place hahaha in her coop =) Like the name, I still haven't named the drake but he is a keeper!

Great name Sophia is my hen and she's become regular with where she lays now I have a old tire filled with hay buy their pool and she's started using that my ducks don't like the coop at all and congratz on the eggs I know I was supper excited when I found mine and my drake the local neighborhood kids have started calling Jack Jack so guess I have Sophia and jack jack and my muscoveys are called mean and meaner hahaha

Mine are actually fairly nice, although sweet pea doesn't love being held whereas the drake doesn't mind!

 

[rayray983]

I don't hold my welsh Harlequin's I do pet them when I fed and if I'm out in pen working on rabbit cages they love to be right there near me I mean like eye to eye lol expecting a treat but the muscoveys those things are really territorial so I have to watch my back in that pen the male well try to get me if I go to close to the female

I don't typically hold mine, only if I need to move them. We used to have to catch them to get them in the coop at night them I had to hold them to clip their wings. Sweetpea likes to be talked to though.

 

[rayray983]

Both of mine like to hear me talk its crazy my little yorky goes out in the pen with me to she likes barking at them until the drake puts her in her place haha then cora my dog is done and wants nothing else to do with the mean ole ducks

 

[rayray983]

I do keep seeing people talk about how silkies lime to be held and loved but mine don't like being held at all they prefer their brooder are okay with eating out of my hand butvdont want me touching them

 

[nayeli]

I would assume its just an adjustment thing, if you don't hold them then they don't get used to it. Try setting them on your lap THEN feeding them out of your hand.
