Perdy laid me her fourth egg this morning!

I'm hoping she'll lay me her 5th tomorrow and her 6th Monday, then in the incubator they're going!

Her first egg was laid on Valentine's Day, that's the right amount of time right? Barely over a week since her first egg laid.
Little Perdy is busy.
 
@Lacrystol I appoligize for interrupting your thread and maybe I didn't read clearly enough, but are you saying you think duck eggs should not be used with automatic turners? I'm on day 2 with 14 Swedish ducks (and 4 turkeys). I'm using an automatic turner.

Another question for your duck knowledge.... I have 3 older ducks on my pond. After all this snow and cold, we went to check on them and they are nowhere to be found. The pond is frozen and snow covered. I'm worried sick. What's the chances that they found a place to hole up and stay clear of predators and weather this storm?
It appears that I am maybe 2-1/2 hours south of you. ;)
 
No, got it off Google search to show what they looked like.
Oh ok. Because that is one beautiful bird!!!! I had the chance to pick up some magpies but none looked like that so I didnt. They looked more like ancona. But not enough like ancona to sell or breed as ancona and not enough black to be magpie. :(. It was a shame because they had very good characteristics other than color.
