I've got 18 eggs cooking now, due on the 26/27th. First hatch was 2 girls, 1 boy. It would be nice if spring yielded more girls.

That's a colorful group! Congrats! Are those the blue egg layers?

So I had an order for 6 dozen duck eggs for this weekend. Woot! Tossing in a free goose egg for such a fine order. Score me!

That will buy almost 2 bags of feed! All in a weeks work...for the ducks lol. I'll be so sad when they start molting. I'm so spoiled. Nearly a dozen a day! Really thats the only reason I sell extra- help buy feed.

In a couple weeks we should have some more ducks start laying (6 actually). I believe March I see my last batch of duckies come in. I should have about 26 ducks when all is done. Only 3 of those males. That should be enough. Those ducks are really randy- much more so than the roosters gosh!

The last couple of days my BSL, (Erica, named after my husband Eric), has been hanging out in the nest box when I feed in the morning. She's my largest layer and have been watching her just because her temperment is a little different. She was still in the nest box this afternoon, put an egg in front of her and she bulldozed it under, same with the other 5 I had in my pocket. Really, going broody for the first time in 5 years! I watch and see how she does, she may end up with the 16 BLRW's sitting on the table.

Everyone hatching chicks and ducklings... so exciting! I hope we get there someday. We picked up two ducklings at Tractor Supply today. Not sure what they are.







I posted on the duck forum. I figure they're probably Pekin or Buffs (I don't really know much about ducks, so sorry if those are silly guesses) but the way they stand up so much had me thinking (wishing!) runners. We'll see I guess! I have them in with the chicks for now, but I'm sure we'll move them on their own soon. I think they're four days old. They're pretty (VERY) nervous around us, I hope they warm up to us.

The girls (Week old EEs) had their first trip outside today! It was so cute. Now they're cuddling with the new duckling friends.
