FINALLY! Got my first egg!

[Wifezilla]

OMG I think my ducks would freak if I tried that...LOL

Well they did freak a little when they saw the board. They ran in their house and one, the Campbell if I remember right flew right over it to the far side. That was perfect, in the morning I had one egg on each side of the board. And after that they still liked me as much as ever, they still follow me around.

But ya, those do look like Campbell eggs anyway.

The mystery as to why the runner (Chrissy) isn't laying has been solved. She is molting!!! I came home for lunch and it looked like someone had had a pillow fight in my back yard! LOL

Then I saw her preening and feathers were coming out like crazy.

Hi there. Looks like you solved who it was, but I just wanted add that I have runners from a hatchery and they lay white eggs. They look just like my Leghorn Chicken eggs. The only way I can tell 'em apart is the shell texture is different.
But my runners don't even look like runners sooo, lol, I don't know.

 

[Wifezilla]

Really? Geez. Well, if Chrissy is molting though, then the most likely candidate is still Janet (the khaki).

Chrissy doesn't look very "runner-ish" either. More of a utility grade duck.

 

[Riocotesei]

lol, yup mine look just like her.
"runners"

Oh well, I love the 2 I have.

lol... even my hand raised human loving ducks would freak out. Esp if it was a blue board, lol... My ducks are afraid of anything big and blue.... (my fiance thinks that's why they like to spend so much time inside even when they are allowed to go outside at will, they are afriad of the sky...)

Ducks are soo funny... I can picture your Chrissy jumping desperatly over jack's head to avoid the board. lol

I here that they really make cakes and cookies much better tasting.

It's almost a shame I went low carb all those months ago

Actually I am going to have a girlfriend test the eggs in baking to see if that is true.
