"Our experiment was a success. We discovered that the music stimulated eggs were the first to hatch and had the highest hatch rate of 74%. The eggs stimulated with a recording of chickens clucking hatched second and had a hatch rate of 70%. Our control incubator with no stimulation only resulted in a 27% hatch rate."

(I was wondering about that because my room seems to be the most practical one to place the incubator in - and I usually have some music playing ... Aha - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/playing-music-for-incubating-eggs.1481590/ )
 
I just had an April fools' surprise... While the ducks were away in the outside part of the orchard, a jackdaw came in and instead of just pecking at the food, it went straight into a kiddie pool and started bathing! Pranking me and the ducks.

I wonder when the ducks come back, will it be like Goldilocks and the bears -- "someone's been bathing in our pool..."
