Congratulations to the first egg!
Don't worry, all my ducks began laying small eggs, some even smaller than chicken eggs and are now laying huuuuge eggs. We always smile in the grocery stores about the »Jumbo Chicken Eggs« - standard size for a duck egg…

I have posted two new videos with Katharina's grown up offspring in the thread »Happy Duck Days« - Lots of rain on Halloween made the ducks happy and today they got the Tomato and pepper plants… https://www.backyardchickens.com/posts/21901938/

They really looked grown in the video. A year ago you only had 4 ducks ?

Five! - Donald (rip), Limpy, Katharina, Curiosity and Nona Duck. All F&W Runners.
No more ducks, the duck-house is at full capacity, 8m² (86 sqft) is just right for 24 ducks.

I have until Spring to build another duck house. Thinking we will get 4 more in the Spring. I don’t think the commercial built one we have will last another year.
