Little Duck's Floofy Flock

[OneHappyDuckie]

I haven't updated here in a while, but I have to share this.
I just found not one, nor two, but three eggs in the coop today. What a surprise!

I believe they're from my black Austalorp girls. They're three months and three weeks old now

Why are they wet
Congo rats! Have you eaten them yet?

That would be the sunlight

Im not quite sure what I'm going do with them yet. I was wanting to blow out my first one and save it. Though I wasn't expecting to get three all in one day

You should eat the shell and save the inside of the egg

I also forgot to update that I rehomed all but two of my cockerels. They were pretty but so noisy, and they had started to bother my pullets (though never got into fights with each other).
Eight in total, leaving me with one Polish, four EEs, four blue BCs (one boy), four Partridge BCs, five Splash BCs (one boy), two red BCs, and my four white silkies.
I do think two of the silkies are male, but the dumb dumbs don't bother anyone.
They've all been much more calm now.

Are you sure they’re all from today? The sizes make me think it’s one or two girls who have laid a day or two in a row.

I thought you were only keeping 2 cockerels?

Pretty sure. Last night when I checked on them I didn't see any eggs. The one under the nest box could have been from yesterday though..

I didn't realize those two were male for the while, so I decided to keep the silkie cockerels for now. Eventually I'm going to rehome one of them, but I'm thinking of keeping the other for breeding.
They haven't bothered any of the others, but if they do I'll rehome them both.
