Ducks are laying

My ducks are all laying now. I am collecting fertile eggs from most of them now. So far we have hatched Rouen, bantum Saxony , Bantum Appleyards, White Campbell, Muscovy and one Elizabeth. Still incubating under muscovy foster mums are the Aylesbury, Large Silver appleyard and more of the list of hatched. My calls are sitting on both Call and saxony eggs and a little partridge Wyandotte is helping to hatch both as well. Pictured are the first of this seasons saxony progeny.
