Vesper 35 Coop Cleaner Registered: 01/16/03 Posts: 243 Loc: Canada	Is it true that a duck knows if an egg that she is setting on is rotten? Both of my ducks have been pushing eggs out of their nests and when I check the egg, it is always rotten. They both have been setting for over 2 weeks.One has pushed out 4 and the other one has got rid of 2.Thank you.

It's amazing what they can tell without even looking inside the egg! (wish we could do that!) Mikaela _________________________ http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/jrsygntbrdr1/
