turning the eggs

The female in box #1 is rearranging her eggs, (and some eggs from another female!) We estimate that there are 30 eggs in this box. Notice how she burrows in the nest to move the eggs from the bottom of the nest up and the warmest eggs to the bottom.

  2. This is a great way to get to see the duck in her element! I love to see how much she cares about each and every egg in that nest. I can't wait to see the little ones...
