I’m not being negative in anyway… and to my defence the way your coming across does make you sound like your a bit incompetent… I do apologise its hard to gage someones tone when your reading a post… lolJesus lol you’re super negative about my excitement. I have raised my Cayuga’s since they were 6 weeks old and they are doing just fine. Although I am new to this egg laying/hatching process plus learning the terms does not mean I am incompetent. I will continue to learn and continue to love/spoil my ducks. Btw I am not forcing them to do anything. I am simply asking what to look for since she is laying. Hopefully your day gets better and your mood improves.
the most importent thing to look for with ducks is the squishing if you see the squishing then you can porbably leave the eggs in the nest and see what what happens within a week 2 week time frame….
my cayugas havent bred yet but my drake hasn’t squished yet either… (he looks like an awakward teenage boy not exactly sure on what or how he’s meant to do it..lol ) I’m hoping this coming season it will be a different story
my Muscovys have bred my drake squishes like no tomorrow…. I’ve had one duckling hatch under mumma ( which was a egg nap) and I’ve hatched one in the bator… for some unknown reason a lot of my Muscovy eggs are either early quitters or extremely (alive and well on day 37 gave up on day 40) late quitters….
I wish you luck once she starts sitting on the eggs candle them o. Day 10 and let us know How it goes
