Dud Duck Eggs...

The nest before it was moved from near the generator...

This gander that we have was having his first go at fertilising eggs... Boy was that a dud experience. Poor Snow White kept pumping out those eggs till she had 16 of them to look after. We put her in one of the snake protected cages and there she sat and sat and sat and sat... She is always great with incubating the eggs. She has hatched out three litters before so knew she would be doing a good job...

Yesterday was D-Day... Over a week over due those eggs where. She stank as bad as the last five eggs that were left... Nothing in any of them... She gladly had a bath and was able to enjoy the outside without the constraints of the cage and having to sit on those eggs. Though she is missing them all the same... Will take her a couple of days to get used to being outside again but she'll come around.

Great effort Snow White... Shame on you Curly for not producing... Next lot goes in the incubator if anything I reckon. :)

Cheers Damaris
