My Cayuga is laying

[Angela Thomson]

I have been getting an egg a day since last week. Now, I'm not sure who is laying. Sometimes the egg is buried in the straw and sometimes it's on the ground. A couple of days ago I noticed a perfectly round and smooth *nest in the duck box with the days egg in it. Are they going to go broody? I want more ducks but isn't it too cold?

Take their eggs daily till you feel it's warm enough for brooding and hatching. I usually make mine wait till end of April that way ducklings are hatching end of May.

When ducks are broody They will sit on there eggs, and bite you if you try and take them.
Or you could wait until you think you have fertile eggs then put them in an incubator.

What color are they? I can’t remember if I already asked. I’m a little under the weather so my memory is bad.

They are white/grayish and really smooth. I put three in the bator but I'm not sure they're fertile. I cracked two, one had starburst and one did not. Yesterday after work I did the 3-4 finger check on the pelvic bones. Only one duck is laying, and I have not seen *what I think is* the male duck on her. He only likes the one duck his age.

Thanks Miss Lydia. All the kiddos have been sick a couple times now, so I guess it’s my turn.

I’m excited to see what color mine are. I’m hoping they are the greyish color too.

I got two eggs today! One the usual greyish and one green!
