Yeah. She deserves them alright. Since it's her second brood in the year and a half I've had her I guess it's safe to say she's going to hatch at least one clutch a year.

Goals for today
Get Muscovy drake to take a bath
Find out where Mallard keeps disappearing to and hiding eggs
Check for any rodent holes because I'm definitely not getting as many eggs.
Now if the darn sun could just come out. Unlike the ducks Im sick of rain!!!

Aw, that is so cool. She is an incredible mother.

I'm up to 3 hatched! One still in the half-shell and I can see a zip on another!!!!! Will get more pics after lunch.

ducks only lay in the Spring around April-June.
if you want to incubate eggs it will take around 28 days unless you have a Muscovy which takes 32 days.
