Just 2 eggs here today, and one was funky shaped, it had a sort of flat side. Weather here is weird, so I think that is why!

Only chicken eggs here today after 2 weeks without a duck egg I am saying my girls are threw for the year, the carnuckles on the drakes are fading. Whew been a long summer now if the 5 girls that are still brooding will give up.

6 eggs from my hens

I hear ya!! My blue girl still isn't making eggs but the fawn and white runner has decided all of the sudden its time to get broody! Of coarse she has made her nest in my flower bed and I can totally see her trying to be all inconspicuous, but the gig is up. She quacks super loud in the AM until we let her out of the pen and then she runs like the wind to that nest and deposits one egg. I am not letting her complete this task however so hopefully she will just give up too on being broody.
By the way what is a carnuckle?

see the red on his face? they are called carnukles. Muscovy's only. My girls haven't even had an egg under them and still can't get it through their heads to give it up.

Mine are still laying, i even have another broody.

My chickens are laying well too. We've hit another hit wave though.

3 big white eggs here today, all in the same nest.
GQ-- are you going to allow that goofy broody to sit this late? LOL

Good grief no! we take the eggs but boy this one is dusty, the one who sat a nest in Feb of this year and she nasty about it!! she went for my daughter, after she took the eggs.

She is all kinds of crazy that bird.

That's the way Ruth Ann is here I have been using a stick to move her out of the way just to make sure her sister hasn't laid and Ruth has rolled it under her. Boy does she bite hard.

Zero duck eggs for aug thru sept. They are not losing feathers anymore, so I am hoping to get an egg soon.
