Oh, shame. Have you tried using fake ceramic eggs? Pop a couple in a nest you want the girls to go broody in, and voila! My girls only have to see those eggs & they end up sitting!
Better luck next time xx

Hi Jane,
I have some sad news, looks like Miss Ellie is done sitting, I am sure something got all her eggs, so she is hanging around the pond with the other girls. I hope next time she decides to put her eggs in a little house we made for her, and we can at least help her protect them. We can always move the little house in the pen, when she is done laying her eggs, and protect them.
Have a ducky day,
Judy

Thanks for getting back to me, Sounds like it would just be easy to just peel them. The ducks are young, we plan to do them when they are 6 months old, I heard they are the best when young. Our boys are really getting big. Broad chested.
We let the girls out of the pen now, one yesterday and one today. Was neat, cause Miss Ellie shows up today, she is their mama, seemed like she was communicating with them, and showing them around. When we let the first girl out yesterday, she seemed scared, but seems she is adapting, of course the boys are pushing on the fence trying to get out also. We are going to keep them in the pen, easier to catch when we are going to butcher them. Which won’t be much longer. We are anxious to try the meat. we plan to make hamburger meat and also would like to try roasting one.
Thanks again for your advice, much appreciated. :)
Have a Blessed Day,
Judy

Ooh really? The mint goes in with the fruit I presume? Sounds intriguing!

Yum. I am very new to rhubarb crumble. A friend of mine makes this with mint as her secret weapon and man it is sublime. Will have to try your version.
