    Duck stopped laying eggs

    I have a 1yr 5mth old Rouen duck. She first stated laying eggs in January and has laid eggs consistently, pretty much every day since then. She has not laid an egg in almost 2 months.

    Duck Egg incubation

    I have been incubating a duck egg I found on Easter Sunday. It appears to be doing well and I have been seeing quite a lot of movement when I have candled it. However, the pointy end has quite a lot of free space and I’m not sure if this is a problem? There is an air sac at the rounded end. So...

    Are the air sacs okay?

    Hello, it's my first time hatching duck eggs. I got them shipped from ebay and I've been monitoring their growth. I check for movement and they seem to be doing good.

    Cayuga ready to lay eggs?

    3 of my 4 females (2 runners and 1 khaki) are laying, and have been since the beginning of October. They are now a little over 6 months. My Cayuga isn’t laying yet, but she has an awkward little “pouch” that almost drags the ground sometimes. I heard that means they are getting close to laying...
