Ooh yes, good idea. I can see myself putting more effort into creating pretty and yummy ice blocks for the ducks than I do for my own dinner :D

Aww that's so cute about the snow and iced up pond! Haha they are so funny! That's an excellent idea about treat I've cubes for their pool! I'm going to start making them some today!

Oh wow, that is quite amazing! I didn't know that. I wonder how they survive too. When she's obviously getting off them constantly to eat etc, how do the first eggs survive? We are very lucky here in Western Australia, our winters just wouldn't even be considered cold by anyone else's...

Ah yes, I see. So far we've been using them for baking too (and yes, they are awesome!). We have a drake so eventually we might see if we can hatch some. I might try doing it under one of our chickens who constantly goes broody (we don't have a rooster so she's never going to get to hatch...

I'm so relieved to know it's not too abnormal, phew! The rubbery duck eggs are so different to the soft shelled chicken eggs I've had - they're almost like one of those stress balls you can squeeze!

Thanks Miss Lydia! I will get them some cracked corn and oyster shell with the layer crumble today then! There were two normal looking eggs in the correct laying spot today so hopefully they're working it out! Someone's still laying double yolkers though, one of them today was huge!

Is it common for ducks to lay strange eggs when they first start to lay? I'm worried we're doing something wrong :( Our runner ducks have just started laying in the last week. We're getting some normal looking eggs but some strange ones. At least half have been huge double yolkers, these all...
