Hey all! Bean and Puddles, the other two ducklings from my first posts back in February have been growing well and presumably healthy and have been laying eggs for a little bit now.
When I went to use a few eggs today however, I noticed a couple had blood spots in them. From what I was already able to find, this is probably from a tiny blood vessel in the ovary bursting while laying the eggs. Is this common for ducks?
This is the first time we're having this happen, and the only change I can think of recently is the heat we have been having and combating to keep our girls cool.
Please let me know if you guys can think of anything we might be able to do or if it's something we should even be worrying about.
