Well my 8 month old buff started laying on the 31st, her mate is an 8 month old mallard, s far we have 6 eggs. Im not expecting them to hatch since it is her first time, but i cant help but get excited that she is actually laying them! I just cant help jump for joy!
But of course, when I jump, the goats do too, lol.
I have a quick couple of questions that my mom wanted to know as well as I am interested in.I know I could go to google for it, but when I ask here it is easier for me to understand
1. My buff female decded to make her nest inside the goat kennel, the goats stay out, but im worried becuase they like to jump on top alot and that may shake the kennel. Will this upset the eggs and cause them to go bad? I am trying to stay a little optimistic and say that they MIGHT hatch. Will the eggs be upset with the goats jumping up and down on top of it? The kennel is large and so only moves slightly, but still.
This next one yall might think is kind of gross, but oh well, im asking
2. When I told my mom about the eggs she asked if they were wet. U said I wasnt sure becuase I didnt want to disturb the mama. Now, When an egg comes out, is it wet? ( I know that it wont be dry when it comes out but I just need more detail to explain to my mother).
3. How do the eggs form? I know they have an egg every 24-25 hours? but does that mean that a new egg forms a day? or what?
Thats all my questions for now
All answers will be appriciated xD
Now, FOR THE PICS!!!( I apologize for them being so large)
Moma! My buff

Together
The uncle, Domestic bibbed mallard
The two jumpers, (Pure pygmy and pygmy cross)
