Oh, I wanted to tell you guys, if the ducks continue to lay and no one moves or strikes again I should have just under 30 eggs to pop in the cooker! around nine should be Big Mama's if she doesn't take a day or two off.


Interesting thing I've started to see a pattern with is the egg laying, they'll start laying and the eggs will be giant 70-80 grams and as they continue to lay they'll get smaller 50-40 grams, when they hit that size they take a week or two off and when they start back up the eggs are big again. I don't know why. It take four or five months for the size to drop. I thought it was supposed to be the other way round?

Cool! e

Weird, but makes sense. You know how the eggs are always darker right after a molt? Maybe its the same thing with size

I actually thought about bringing my gun with me for about two seconds.
Yup, and probably landed myself in juvie while I was at it...

Oh gees.

Woah! That's a long snake.
I fo that sometimes... But on the wall.. HARD

Indeed.

Maybe. They didn't really go through a molt this time though, just stopped, waited about four or five days and started up again.

That's odd :/ That's a HUGE egg. I only have one chicken laying and it's like a small sized egg That big of an egg would be a miracle

Yeah, gotcha. Hey, I've never noticed patterns with egg production farther than "it all but stops when the whites go broody" Dot AND Parakeet are both broody right now

We have a BSL who would lay eggs that were always 70 grams + when she laid. EVERY. SINGLE. EGG :TH Batgirl... A 50 gram egg was little for her gotta love an overachiever

If you've fot a duck and drake or two ducks she'll lay eggs that size. Duck eggs are huge, I get a compression to a store egg tomorrow, my duck egg yolks are about 3 times as big as the store chicken eggs. Big Mama, well she's laid 90+ gram eggs.

Yeah, gotcha. Hey, I've never noticed patterns with egg production farther than "it all but stops when the whites go broody" Dot AND Parakeet are both broody right now

Lol. Nice. I had three attempted broodies so far this year, big Mama, Lady Elaine, Pekin, and my Swede. Lady Elaine co sat with Big Mama last year. I expect Big Mama will try another brood later in the year.
