Waterfowl are vectors, keep it away from wild waterfowl.

Hello- Thank you for your advice. The other egg did have a shape inside and we could see it moving when candled before it got so big. It doesn't smell at all. We had another egg that died about 1/2 way through and it was gray and smelly. We did get it out quickly as we have a very eager 7-year-old who looks at the eggs multiple times a day just to make sure they are still in there! : ) The questionable egg is larger and a different color than the peeping egg. We were wondering if maybe it was a Muscovy duck and could take a little longer. mary

It always amuses me to see what comes up when you do a search on your user name (or on my name). If you do it within the GW forum, it will mostly be posts within that forum, but doing it on a general engine search is like reaching into the magician's hat. There's no logic, no date-order, no reason that I've ever been able to figure out as to what will show up. Granted, I don't post much any more, but why did a 2005 posting come up along with a 2011 post? Search results can be weird. WestG ~ ddgo is just a linking search engine minus the ads. As we've all said many times, anything posted on the internet is open to the public and that includes anything posted on GW.

Goose! Oh Cynic, I am heartbroken. This is the first issue ever that we've not seen eye-to-eye on. Oh woe is me and my duck, duck, and GOOSE! LOL You unpack your groceries properly; you hang tissue paper properly; you keep house properly. Pack a bag and come visit. You, me, Harry, Sam, Wes, and the neighbors will play "Duck, Duck, Goose" until you get the hang of it! LOL Then my world will be properly back on its axis.
