well Daisie and Dora have started laying finally.. only took a month of Jack humping them to get them ‘going’.. laffin.  And Duke has finally figured out what he’s supposed to do, so hard to tell if the eggs from Dora and Daisie are fertile or not.. have never incubated any of the duck eggs, but with the younger girls starting to lay now and two drakes after em all day long, i might save up a dozen or so and put em in the incubator to see what happens.  If any hatch, i can raise em for the dinner table!! or maybe sell em at the flea market.. just depends on how things go, if i get 2 or more to hatch, i’ll raise em to eat, less and i’ll sell em at the flea market.  Takes 28 days for duck eggs to hatch, so will be a while before i know either way.  In the meantime, here’s a pic of my babies.
