In the last few days we've had the kind of rain when you get the monthly quota in a single shower. There is flooding all over the country, the part where our homestead is remains relatively OK.

Since there are little lakes all over the property the ducks are having a ball. They have not come to the people house to get their pellets at all, they play and hunt for wildlife all day long

Nevertheless, 4 eggs yesterday, 3 today.

I would have to say 0, largely because I don't have any ducks.

But I want some!

4 duck eggs and one alien egg

I'm starting to think feeding ducks is a lot like watering plants. You can water and it's good that you do but it has little effect compared to actual rain.

Similarly, we take great care to select really good quality food and feed dilligently, and then ducks forage 100% during a series of rainy days, don't even come looking for neither dry food nor grit, and we have glorious eggs.

The alien one above is probably waterlogged; it was found it a basin and you can see greenish algae on it. While we had basically 3 straight days of heavy rain and several new mini lakes on the property, I was not changing the water in most of the basins and this is the result.

Was it softshelled? I'd wonder how else it would poof up like that!!!

It's somewhat softshelled now, and that's after presumably getting waterlogged which would make it harder to the touch. So yes, I think for sure it was a bouncy when it came out
