Our first duck eggs that were laid by the two girls just over a month ago.
We have been dining and cooking with these beautifully flavoured and lovely eggs, but seeing as Bandy had decided to build herself a comfortable and well feathered nest we decided to let her hatch the next few eggs.
She "quacks" when we look in to check that all is well and only pops out of the duck house when shes hungry and thirsty... spending most of that time head down, bum up chasing Daffy (the other girl duck) around the pen, while Shuggie watches on, in a bemused sort of way.
So, here is Bandy sitting on two eggs which should be only days away now from hatching and we both look forward to seeing our first ducklings. Let's hope the local carpet python doesn't know all this... although I have just purchased four solar snake repellers just in case... fingers crossed!!!
