I know I love my duck too much when I try to fulfill her nesting needs at 5:30 in the morning.
Recently, Zucchini started nesting. She would explore all over the house, especially tight areas, looking for that best nest spot. She would try to make a nest out of her blankets by pushing them around with her head and kicking them with her feet.
I realized this meant she was close to laying her first egg.
To help her out, I gave her a box with hay in it. She liked it. She used it. That is, when Balraaj would let her use it.

She has finally laid her first egg. Not in the box, but in my giant lounge chair. Guess she wanted comfort. In typical Internet fashion, here is a photo of Zucchini's first egg.
