    No eggs from 7 month old ducks

    Hi , my Aylesbury ducks are almost 7 months old now and haven’t laid any eggs yet . Is this because they were born later in the year and it takes longer? or is it because of the cold weather and less daylight? Thanks

    No curls in drakes feathers at 12 weeks old?

    Hi my Aylesbury ducks are 12 weeks old now and none of them have curls in their feathers. Im pretty sure that 3 of them are drakes by their raspy voices but not 100% as they look the exact same as the females and have no curls in their feathers. Is this normal for drakes to not have curls? Thanks
