Those look to me like typical Mallard eggs. If your dups are full Mallards it means Mr. Waddlesworth may have been the only Mr. in the group. Males should have the green head and white neck ring by now....
Dup eggs are some good eating. Enjoy!

I don't have a clue about the notifications. Mine seem to be working, but now that you've told me I'll take a closer look. I use hivetasks and Ginabot to backstop my notifications, and so I think it's working.

Downvotes have changed a bit since the olden days (I've already appropriated guzbuck from you, I'll leave fired alone). Everybody has two free downvotes per day now so the shitposts should get DVs and consequently not show in your feed so much. That's the theory. Of course there is some abuse :) Sometimes we just can't have nice things.

That SteemEngine was just magical for about a year and a half, wasn't it? I don't know how I got invited either, but I didn't ask too many questions about it so that they wouldn't look again and find out I was a fraud in that company. I'm REALLY glad that @awakentolife is coming back. What a great guy.

Once more, just for old times sake. To quote Neil Young "Long may she run."
