What age do ducks lay at??

Date sort Score sort
I should have eggs coming out of my ears by late fall. Until then I just have 1 laying...my runner Chrissy. I got her when she was about 7 months old. Took her a couple of weeks to start laying, but she has been giving me eggs ever since.
 
The earliest I have ever had one start laying was about 16-18 weeks. Most of mine, regardless of breed, seem to start though at about 24-28 weeks.
 
My cayuga was nearly 8 months before I saw my first eggs--and then I didn't realize they were hers because I had been thinking she was a he. lol
 
my mallards took about 7 months to start laying, and my cayuga didn't lay her first egg until this spring, she quickly went broody to boot LOL, I knew she'd always wanted to be a momma, I'm just upset she never got to R.I.P lyra

My female Peking is 20 weeks old, and it is December, just started to average 30 degree temperature at night. Will she begin to lay soon, or will she start laying in the spring when the weather is warmer?
