For those who have ducks, I have two jumbo Pekin ducks. They lay one egg each ( 127-135 gms each) per day. Although, twice I have found 3 eggs in their nest. I do check every day because they are poor mothers. I don't want them to eat them. They routinely lay their eggs at dawn. I have found two...
