Three grown up ducks but only one egg per day?

How easy is it to make these Wyze cameras available in the internet?
With my DuckyCam from Amcrest it is almost impossible, unless you are willing to use their "cloud" servers - and pay for it!

They are also WiFi and must have electric to power them. The app and use is free. I’m not exactly sure how the connection and everything works, (must enter the WiFi password to access) but I figure if anyone wants to tap in and watch my ducks and birds play around, I hope they enjoy!

One cool feature is they can be shared with anyone else with a Wyze account. And you can cut them off any time too. The playback feature is nice and easy to use. The bad thing for some folks though, is there is no desktop feature. iPhone or android apps only.

Just took a screenshot of my momma duck and her 10 babies.

Am I mustard after the meal or however English people say repeating something already said?

But some do mating-molting breaks, a lot of energy goes towards that. My German left her first ugly black egg today ;') (it is truely ugly) And one of the others certainly is not laying. Or both not every day... I think in hindsight the one that is done with molting...and the white eggs I am missing that I opened a topic on will probably arrive soon because that one is still molting.

The mating-molting season came a bit at the same time this year. They are done molting but still mating. I guess due to the unusual soft winter. And early februar days you could sit outside without a jacket on, and then a week snow again, and then 20 degrees (bare legs) again, and then -0 degrees (freezing) again, and then 20 degrees again, this weekend -0 again, next weekend 20 degrees again

They stopped hiding eggs in nests a while ago when they started molting. Stopped all together. Now slowly they are laying eggs again. But are also still mating. I guess this funky weather can make them go another round. But less eggs is not unusual with their even funky biological clock due to the weather.

My girls get sneaky in the spring. I have found hidden nests full of eggs. I think they cross their little legs and wait to lay until I let them out. So, you might be on the look out for a hiding spot.

We had a dry spell of eggs over the tough winter. Then came back big time. They don’t always lay in the house. We find them all over the place in the yard.

They are going through an extraordinary amount of oyster shells currently.

Well it looks like my ladies were just taking a little spring break. They are slowly but surely starting to lay again. Friday night I found one dropped by the food tray but it was thin shelled and cracked so they got to eat that one. Then someone went inside the duck house and made a beautiful nest and had one right in the middle. Over the weekend I have been repeatedly checking and looking for hidden eggs. Mine seem to prefer to lay in the house thankfully so I keep checking and yep I keep finding eggs. I have noticed a whole lot of feathers so I am certain they have been molting as well. Nobody has had a hard molt except for Ginger about a month ago though. She was looking pretty rough for a spell but not anymore. The other girls are shedding those old feathers a bit more gracefully than she did. This morning I had 3 big beautiful eggs so....

Congrats. Sounds like they are on a roll again mine are picking back up too.

You are fortunate that your girls like to lay in the house! I am trying to train mine. I just managed to capture 3 and get them in the coop to show them that they don't have to search for a nest. I have great spots for them to lay in there. I did find one egg yesterday and one egg today. Hopefully keeping them in there for a bit will work.

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s great they laid inside. Hopefully they’ll keep it up.

I hope they do too! I went out there to clean up their pools and give them clean water to bathe and swim in and one was missing. Miss Squiggy had gone into the house and made a huge beautiful nest. But no egg. She has been quite cranky lately, more than usual. This is the mallard lady. My runners have been a little more spunky and silly lately and cannot stay out of the pools. They run from one pool to another. So cute
