Cutie Pies Egg Mountain
When we moved Cutie Pie into the rabbit hutch last week, we discovered she hasd some 19 eggs under her, 7 more than I expected. Seems she has been stealing them form Swimmer and Purdie, who I thought had stopped laying.
Sadly she lost one egg out of the nest, this was one of our eggs and it was fertile and had started to develop, which would suggest George was more active than we thought. 2 other eggs purdies I believe were clear so I have taken them away from her so she now just has the 16 eggs.

Duck Eggs
The duck eggs are doing well, when candled last week all 5 were developing, so fingers crossed for 5 little runner ducklings.
Japenease and Italian
I've been told that I have two types of quail here, Japenease and Italian, should hopefully be able to sex them soon.
Bantam Eggs
I've just found out Bantams eggs take 19 - 21 days, so they could hatch anytime now, fingers crossed.
