So Bizarre...

[duck walk]

the weather has been up and down like a yo yo and so much rain I need fins...my ducks have become laying maniacs...I have eggs every where...19 in a nest in the coop, 14 scattered around the yard this a.m., five dozen in the frig., gave away two dozen this a.m....STTTTTOOOOOP IT!!!!! I am scrambling a bunch of them for the dogs this evening...none of those girls has considered parking her butt on any of them yet...like I need more ducks...

p.s. edited to add, I love my duckies and always have room for more...my post was tongue in cheek mock outrage at their stellar laying abilities at this time...I really wish someone would park on a nest and hatch some babies...

OK lovesduckies you don't have to rub it in.

My BEI's started laying a couple of weeks ago.

That's awesome! I am so glad they are doing well. This weather is crazy. We still have so much snow on the ground. I don't even remember the last time we had snow stick around like this. I have been in and out of town for several days at a time, so my brother got to deal with the birds for the worst of it (lucky him, LOL). I am going to *try* to get as much done as possible this week since it is supposed to be warm- painting some new pens a guy built me, separating birds into pairs, etc... I know you're right, we probably still have several blizzards in store.
