I'm glad they are feeling up to laying. I sure hope your temps drop below 100 soon, that's so miserable. Trying to keep a bird from going broody is a full time job...lol Do you have any male ducks at this time IM?

No, I don’t have a drake and that’s intentional. My son gets lots of babies and I don’t want to deal with that. The ducks seem to break easier than the chickens. Take their eggs and other than waiting a few days for more eggs that seems to do it. I’ve had broody chickens that sat in empty nests or on a single egg at times. Crazies

I know you have been inactive for a pretty long stretch of time. And I know from reading your posts, you have had some setbacks.
Just wanted to tell you there are a number of friends that do miss you.
If you get this message,, just drop in and say HI. We all encounter difficulties in our life.

@cavemanrich thanks for checking on me, I’m still around.

Thanks to everyone for the good birthday wishes

We had three chickens and two ducks over the winter. The RIR girl has been incessantly broody for about six months and I got tired of dealing with it so she has three new chicks. One easter egger and two lavender orpingtons from the feed store. I haven’t seen her out of the nest yet but when I do will update with pics.
