    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    3 in 2 days. I have another layer. 2/3 had the slightest hint of a green tinge. I’m going to be out of commission for a bit, but will ask hubby to keep an eye out for who the second layer might be!

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    1, as it has been with maybe a day or two skipped. I do have confirmation that it is Apollo laying as I walked in on her in labor this AM! So, an official congratulations to Apollo, who is now a grown lady duck!

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    One again today. I asked the young ladies who it belonged to, and both Apollo and Bubbles clearly seemed to recognize it as an egg that had been stolen. Daisy seemed indifferent. So, I think I’ve narrowed it down to Apollo or Bubbles.

    Another egg today in the same nest. Good looking egg. 3 perfect eggs in 3 days at the darkest time of year? Well, that’s not old duck behavior. Sooo, it must be Daisy, Apollo, or Bubbles! Daisy was, by far, the first to quack. Apollo was the first to hatch and the first to swim. However, Bubbles...

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    Another one today in the same nest! It’s a good strong egg, and I’m not sure Remi is capable of making good strong eggs anymore. Maybe I can solve the mystery this weekend!

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    Yeah, my Mama Muscovy has typically had more rounded eggs also, although hers are not as rounded as her sister’s were. I just had her on the list as she just finished up her molt and the egg was the right color! I haven’t seen an egg from Remi in many months, and her eggs had some issues when...

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    Someone made a poor life decision to use energy that they should be using to stay warm to lay this. I know it wasn’t Matilda, as her eggs are green. It could be from Mama or Remi (both over 6 and 1/2 years old) or one of the new girls. However, it doesn’t really look like a first egg, does it?

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    I’m still finding 1 quite frequently. I think it’s from Matilda. She’ll be 5 this spring and she took a normal break the last couple of years, so I don’t understand. There’s very few hours of sunlight, and the light is on in the barn only during normal sunlight hours. The eggs are perfect too...

    1. Matilda is a machine! I hope she’ll take a break soon. She’s not a “spring duckling ” anymore!

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    It’s that time of year again! Matilda is the only regular layer. Remi lays when she feels like it (once or twice per week). Goon2’s implant is working and she’s living a happy and hormone-free life. Goon1 is as broody and grumpy as can be, sitting on an empty nest, incapable of being anywhere...

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    2 + a clunker from Daphne. Hubby thinks my white Muscovy may have laid her first egg of the season today, but I’m not convinced and think it may have been her sister who I know laid yesterday. ‘Tildy, as usual, contributed her perfect little green egg.

    2! One from ‘Tildy, and a slightly thin shelled first-egg-of-the-year from my pied Muscovy, Goon2.

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    I found two this AM, but both were clearly from Matilda. DH had am and pm duck duty yesterday as I was gone for 14 hrs and he doesn’t tend to look for eggs. ‘Scovies are still freeloading, and Daphne had a good day (aka no egg crisis). I really need to do a big clean out of the barn this...

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    Just a single abomination from Daphne that she thankfully passed overnight. Matilda will probably lay in a bit. I think she likes to do so around 9 am.

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    I know that this wasn’t directed towards me, but I have an older duck too. Daphne is 7, and she has not laid any eggs yet, although she’s trying to lay one tonight. I wish she’d go through henopause.

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    Matilda has been laying one perfect egg every day. The Muscovies are still freeloading, although they are hormonal and are taking turns being the crabby one. Sadly, Daphne’s little body decided to give it a whirl and I had to give her calcium tonight. She’s the LAST one that should try to...

    Also zero, or maybe I haven’t looked hard enough 🤔

    One from Matilda again!

    How many duck eggs did you get today?

    One! The first egg of the season. The slightly greenish hue tells me that Matilda is back in business!
