Quick question.... My ducks are setting up a nest, not sitting yet, just laying. I went in to count eggs and found that one of the eggs in the bottom of the nest has been broken. There is shell and yolk on several of the eggs now. Should I take all the eggs out, clean it up and put the eggs back that aren't "yolky", or take them all out and hope my girls start again...?

I'd take out all but one or two, and reline the nest for them.

So, this is an interesting question, but...does anyone know what size diaper a four week old roman tufted gosling would take? Since it's cold the two I'm getting will be in the house for awhile and I want them to be able to get out and stretch without making a terrible mess. I already have 'baby diapers' for them that come in graduating sizes that should work until four weeks old. After that, I need something else. The way they fit is you measure from the back of the neck across the back to the vent. Does anyone have any idea of what a rough measurement might be? They're pretty similar in size to sebbies if that helps.

So much for accurate vent sexing of ganders.... my "gander" Hitch (grey dewlap) just laid an egg this morning.
