Good things come to those who wait...Someone said that but they probably didn't have an incubator waiting. Lack of daylight and age probably has something to do with it.

Great to see you thanks for update on everyone.

Beautiful duckies!!

Well last night/this morning was rough with a screaming-crying 2 year old thanks to fireworks up until 1-2am. However got up and went to let the ducks out to roam around the yard and let Lucky out from the garage (keep him/her in there since getting into 40's 30's at night and he/she is still young, has feathers and all not sure how much she/he can take. Well open up the duck house and up front is 2 eggs. Cleaner was up front so wondering if from her, both white so most likely Pekin. Maybe fireworks scared her into laying lol. They look to me maybe smaller size like chicken eggs (cant remember duck egg size) so possibly not hatch worthy. But hopefully this is a sign of a good year to come !!

And in more updated news, I think the girls are trying to teach Prince how to mate. Mal mounted Princess and gripped her neck in the kiddie pool. Prince was in there with them but did not do anything. Seems like he did not even pay attention.

Congrats on the eggs. They should get bigger as they lay.

Congrats on the eggs. They should get bigger as they lay.

Thank you, so with them being smaller, from what i read they will not be good candidates for hatching?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'd give them a few weeks to month before hatching.

 

[GeoGreyWolf]

ok, thank you.. got another egg today, same size

Did not expect what i came out to this morning being in Central, FL. The kiddie pool was iced over, had to break it so they could drink and get in the freezing water. I have not witnessed this since living in New York. Also downfall no egg this morning, will have to check the yard i guess to see if she lays later or maybe the cold caused her not to lay.
