I didn't collect eggs for 3 days
I know it's my fault

One of my girls is behaving questionably, I don't know who but I bet it's Dougie.
She's built a beautiful nest, seems to have been sitting on them during the night, and each morning leaves them beautifully covered over and hidden, they're all warm each morning.
This is how she went broody last time so I'm suspicious.

My mother and I had a disagreement on it:

"See, we could just go grab some eggs, slip them into the nest and see what happens- but nooooo, because you have no sense of fun"
"I could just go grab a suitcase and kick you out, but noooooo, because you want somewhere to live"

I get the feeling she isn't thrilled by the idea

Aw I'm so sorry . You'll have the chance someday and it'll be glorious! (If you don't risk it this time that is)

Suprisingly i was only bit a few times, now they dont care if i pick them up, and i gave them a tiny bit of lettuce with grit, and they devoured it in 2 seconds....

It's funny that you've been wanting a broody for ages, meanwhile my duck keeps wanting to sit on unfertilised eggs

Indeed it's very abusive of them if you ask me . But your ducks have a clear dictatorship plan so they need a duck army for that

I say let dougie be the first duck to hatch store bought eggs
Slip them under her mark them so you know and see what happens

It's even better, Dougie hatched from a store bough egg, so she'll be the first store bought duck to hatch store bought eggs

It was really funny actually. He was trying to call all the girls over, but when his hen approached she seemed less that impressed
