Hookies Are Laying!

Been busy lately and have not posted much but found two smallish slightly tinted duck eggs today. This is good news for me, I have high hopes for these birds. I have not seen the males do much breeding yet but the girls are definitly asking for attention. The boys have been picking on each other though. One ducklet seems to have filled out more than the others and has a heavy bottom look so I am sure she is laying.

 

The eggs are rather plain looking so far, hoping for more though but daylight is so short now. These birds are too funny. If I let them out they will spend two days down in the brook then come back to the gate dead tired wanting to go in and be farm ducks again. They are silly.
