Good news!! I found duck eggs! So my Duck Lilly has 3 eggs under her as of this afternoon and my hen has 2 eggs that are due to hatch in about 2 weeks. Not to mention our bulldog is hopefully 6 weeks pregnant today! Only 3 more weeks!!

We're on day 16 and it's 104F in the coop. I fully expect those two broodies to hatch early with this hot humid weather, maybe by Tuesday even. Right now they are hovering over the eggs rather then sitting on them. Poor girls. They better take a long break after this clutch. Especially since we're headed to fall in just a little over a month, so hoping I get that coveted Maran pullet this time.
