I have call ducks which layed from February till the last few weeks since then I haven't had a single egg it's been 3 weeks now I was advised they would stop laying while they were moulting will they continue to lay until winter once they have finished this process

I thought that because they have being mating in pool,I just hope he isn't like it with the other drake

Also I've just picked a duck up and he was biting my legs furiously

I have two drakes and 4 call ducks who are all very friendly especially my one drake who for some reason has got very aggressive with me the last 2 days every time I go to stroke him or pick him up he attacks me also when I enter the garden he walks up and down his pen buffing out his chest can...

Where about are you I've got call ducks and am having 4 eggs a day off them

quote name="Ancona Breeder" url="/t/849594/first-eggs#post_12660378"]Im waiting for mine

Wasn't expecting them this early,was told late February early march.i had another 2 this morning but I found them by the pond not in the coop know any reasons why?

Creature life yes mom did have a little rant and peck at me when I removed the eggs from the coop

Also I have noticed none of the ducks where brooding the eggs is this because they are so young or the weather been too cold, new to this and would appreciate any advice

woke up to my first eggs today and was quite emotional and excited,I have 4 call ducks and 2 drakes who are 8 months old I live in England where the temp is quite mild for this time of the year.i wasn't expecting any eggs till late February early march

I've got a drake who is 5 months old and tried to mate with my female ducks this morning who at a couple of weeks younger,I'm new to keeping call ducks and found this strange because they haven't started laying yet and because I thought the mating season was over

Tha Well, by clean out you mean fully? all the bedding? i am a daily picker lol i clean out wet/soiled bedding daily and will add as needed i only do a full clean out if i find it needed which is usually only a couple times a year, i bed my calls on shavings, i am honestly not a fan of straw...

this is one of my call ducks that's named Rosie and as a duckling was the same colour

I have 2 drakes and 4 female ducks all get along fine

I'm new to keeping ducks and am really worried about the winter,I have 2 drake calls and 4 hen calls,there bedding consists of mill saw dust and straw,I've been told as the temp starts to drop add more,but am confused I clean them out twice a week but now do I just start to take the top layer...
