Well i am plucking extra eggs from this 8 that we found, again this one almost 9mth old duck has seemingly taken over it? i tired to candle them but some look no good, others not so sure need to take a better look again...

This is insane, i have dusty at it again! 3 days in a row, we have had a donnybrook to get eggs from underneath her... i mean really? REALLY? it's bad enough i have 3 extra drakes again, after getting my ratio's settled and of coarse, that leaves me a single little lady so i have to keep her brothers around for a bit or she'll panic.

Nice looking boys again too, i am getting tired of the carrot being dangled in front of me...

Miss Lydia and Keirys, I'll try to get one in the morning. :) (I feed them some more last night, so they weren't "starving" this morning)

She's sitting on 15 eggs now. AND the one who hatched this clutch of 17 (only 15 are alive), she's building a nest, with eggs in it, under my shed (that sits on pallets). This girl is crazy. There are also mice under there. I wonder if that's why she picked it "I can eat and sit at the same time!!"

Most of the male ducklings like to follow my drake around. And he won't eat feed until they have. I SO love my feathered friends.

Sounds like an awesome flock, look forward to seeing pics. I like that your duck has curb service and doesn't even have to get up to eat.
 
Yesterday I found my young mixed gal sitting on almost 20 eggs. This was after at least 30 mins of searching for her and finally decideing that she must've gotten out if the pen somehow. I couldnt believe she was so determined. I took them all away-- no more ducklings here for the time being!
 
Working on the duck coop today I am so tired & I am not even done yet
