Disco the disabled duck is still laying eggs and I see a total of 10 so far. She has had a few hiccups along the way, and laid a very small egg about quarter the normal size last week !
Having spoken to a friend who told me that she was probably lacking calcium, I supplied her with some crushed Cuttle fish shells. She was gobbling them down like there was no tomorrow, and this put her back on track for a full clutch.
She has not started sitting yet, so looks like she is going for the dozen !
Meanwhile Penny and Duke are still waiting on spring weather, but I fear winter is not over yet !
