They are all fairly good layers now, apart from the one that has gone broody! Definitely recommend the lemon curd.. specially with drop scones....

Looks like your girl crossed her legs - which should be good news for you if she's just started laying as the light is improving! We bought a trio of Indian Runner ducks back in May last year. As they were still very young they weren't exactly at POL; however we did expect some eggs later on in the year, although these never materialised. They're making up for it now, having started - like your girl - with the lengthening days; the two girls lay an egg apiece, almost every day. Looks like I'll have to have a 'crack' (ho ho) at your lemon curd recipe....! Hi CIG -
