How many duck eggs did you get today?

Seventeen eggs, after fiercely fighting with Buffzilla and Tweedledee Duck.

3 so far, including a pristine warm freshly laid Muscovy one! She was still sitting right next to it.

And you didn't lost a limb?

NOPE! My ducks are all fluff and no bite. At least so far. Even the Muscovy.

btw, that was the CLEANEST duck egg I've ever seen!

My Muscovies tend to co-brood. Double the trouble to try and reach under 2 of them when they pile up.

Same situation here with the dux last year: Three fire spitting Buff Orpington dragons were sitting on a pile of eggs that grew by the day.

I grabbed 2 and immediately my ducks started quacking at me, Seriously? "If you do not want me picking it up do not put them on the FLOOR!" I yelled at them and they immediately loudly quacked at me and bit my toes, I couldn't believe I was just intimidated by my two ducks. Normally they are not like this but I guess this is how it will be from now on.

4 so far.my girls could care less about their eggs once they are laying in the coop on on the ground that is all but my Muscovy they have always been okay I laid an egg must hatch it!! Now at almost 13 years they maybe done except yesterday when I went in to clean there was only one laying on the floor ( Muscovy) so I kind of freaked out thinking oh no where’s Joy never even dawned on me to look straight ahead where the chicken nest boxes are and there stood Joy looking at me like what’s the problem

Several times, last year, I would find an egg in their water bowl as I emptied it at the end of the day. I use the large size gravity-fed systems meant for big dogs. Once I would credit to accidental deposit. Multiple times takes more backing-up, and adjustments skills than I would have given my Muscovy ladies for.
