Gertrude is doing well! Yesterday evening (the end of the first full day in “lock-up”) I discovered that Gertrude had laid an egg–the first in a few days. Again, this morning there was another egg on her side of the fence, and all body parts are still intact, nothing hanging out. We will keep her in lock-up a few days, and hopefully this problem will be resolved. The three remaining ducks have spent a lot of time hanging out just outside the side of the duck house where Gertrude is held. I guess they’re keeping her company.
