Hi everyone! We are relatively new duck owners. We have a Crested and a Cayuga both about 5.5 months old. We have them as pets, and are completely in love with them. Our Crested started laying about three weeks ago, and lays an egg a day or so. Our Cayuga started laying about two weeks ago, laid an egg everyday or every other day for a week, then hasn't laid an egg since last Saturday (about 5 days so far). Is this normal? They have a very healthy diet, organic feed, plenty of fresh water, oyster shell, and free range for a few hours everyday. She seems healthy and happy otherwise, doesn't seem to have symptoms of being egg bound, nor can we feel an egg, but don't want to miss anything. Any thoughts or advice from other duck owners would be appreciated. We are new to this smile.png
 
Welcome to BYC!

I've never raised ducks (I'm a chicken person) but they do look like a lot of fun. Here's a link to get you to the duck forum, someone there should be able to answer your egg questions:

I hope all is ok with her and she gets back to the egg laying business just fine.

Nice to have you here!
 
Thank you everyone! I had a feeling that as soon as I started worrying and posted about this, that she'd lay an egg, and of course she did! Thank you for the welcomes and the link to post on the duck thread. Appreciate it!
 
Sorry. I really do not know much about ducks at all, but I just wanted to say, "Welcome to the BYC flock! We are glad you joined us!"
