Argh! Angry at my broody duck Lillegull today. She had a perfectly good nest, the best of all the broodies, with lots of bedding and comfort. For some reason she decided to move it 2 feet and is now sitting on bare floor with the eggs rolling away from under her. And they're due in 2 days!!!
Took 5 eggs from her and placed them in the bator. I NEED to get at least 2 ducklings, one for her and one for another broody who's laying on dud eggs.
Why are ducks so stubborn?! :barnie
 
What season is it there @AquaDuck ? I was thinking if its summer maybe she was hot?
It's summer but it's like 15C so she's not getting away with that excuse. :idunno:lau
The summer's been excellent so far actually. The last 2 years it was intolerably hot and dry, up to 40C (which is insane for a Scandinavian, probably normal for an Australian ;)) , so far this year it's been mostly cloudy and under 20C and I'm loving it!

I think she might be restless and getting bored of sitting. A few more days and you're home free girl!
