Diane, good luck to you and I am really glad that you are doing well. Since I am new to the group, I really don't know what is going on with everyone.
Sadie, my son and I have 16 ducks - 9 Welsh Harlequins and 7 Indian Runners. There are 7 drakes and 9 females. As for my 4 white Chinese Geese - I thought I had a gander, but "Big Guy" laid an egg -no doubt about it, I actually watched the process! Now, I will have to come up with a new name for her. This goose is twice the size of the other 3, so I was really positive she was a he. (My son claims the ducks, but the geese are definitely my babies. I go out and sit with them everyday and make sure they get lots of attention. That is how I watched the egg being laid. I thought it strange that "Big Guy" was laying on the nest and wondered if I could be wrong and maybe "he" wasn't a he. I looked at the backend and could see the contractions and then saw the egg pop out! That sure was a shock - with me being so sure she was a boy! Anyway, I guess they think I am one of them - if she can lay an egg with me sitting next to her patting her.
