I was actually surprised to get one this early. {she just wanted to show up the younger girlsMy ducks sadly aren't laying yet. Hopefully soon though.
Let us know what you find under there.None for me today. I'm just hoping they're not laying under the brush pile, since they love to hang out under there.
It goes away this weekend to make room for the new duck house we're going to build. I hope there's not 50 old eggs under there.
My Muscovy's use to start back in march but seems the last couple years it's earlier so you never know any more. So far just one of mine though. and I have 9 girls. Chicken took a long break this year too. Oct - last of Jan.
Tell them duckies to get crackin'. My girls (11 of them) got down to 2-3 eggs / day around the end of November, but they gave us 4 eggs on X-mas and the next day. 6 eggs on the 27th and most days after that, and for the last week they have been up to 8-9 eggs. The most we ever have gotten was 10 because last Summer, before all the ducklings had their egg shooters kick in, Ettie went broody and turned off for the rest of the year. So I am still waiting for my first 11 day, but I would currently consider my flock on the low end of full production. I just checked on today's haul and so far, there are 7 that's what I get for boasting. But one of the girls has been laying later in the day, in the yard, so maybe that one is still to come...
Those girls are full of surprises
