How many duck eggs did you get today?

[Tookie]

While I was away, over the past 11 days (May 1rst - May 11th) my ducks laid 48 eggs! An even 4 dozen. Thank you girls!

@Tookie That is great! How many ducks do you have?

I have 7 ducks! They're younger, just a bit over 1 year. They've gone crazy with production! I've gotten a total of a bit over 1,100 eggs from them!

Wow! That is a TON of eggs. What are they eating filet mignon?

Ugh! Found a nest with 7 duck eggs.
I just thought my other two girls were slowing down but NOPE.
Blanche decided she wanted to be partially broody and lay her eggs in a hidden nest that isn’t even in the duck coop.
She hasn’t been faithful to sitting on these eggs, because she goes and swims and then sleeps in the grass.
Peggy still broody on her six eggs, though. Candling again tomorrow.

I know right! They just free range and have eaten Mazuri duck food, and are currently on chicken feed.

Silly ducks!
I hope your broody's eggs are doing great! Feel free to post candling pictures, I'd love to see!

My hatch ended up being a fail... my duck had 20, broke a bunch, I added one, broke more... 12 were left after all that. Then I got an incubator to put my older hen's eggs in (she was breaking all those eggs), I left 7 eggs under her from younger hens and put 5 in the incubator. Well out of all those eggs exactly 6 and 6 were infertile, or quit.

5 eggs for today!

Candled eggs but it was raining, so hurried and did not get any pics.
Crazy duck! She kicked an egg out and built another nest beside the old nest and moved her other eggs to the new nest.
The egg she kicked out was a quitter! So amazing that she knew it was a dud.
After candling, we put the eggs back in old nest and moved her back to that one.
So five good eggs left!

Oh wow! That's crazy she moved all her eggs to her new nest.
I'd keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't do that again, lol.
That is amazing she knew one was a quitter! I hope all the rest are good!
What day now?
