4 ducks 1 egg a day ??

Hahahaha that’s what I said ! It doesn’t fit in the crates I saved for collecting . Do you know if it matters if I pick them up right away or should I be sneaky about collecting the egg

Mabye it would deter them from laying in that spot... But mine are very comfortable around me and i take them when they are still steaming

@Miss Lydia do you take yours fresh from the hole?

I collect eggs as soon as I see them. My ducks like to play soccer with their eggs in the mud otherwise.

Bottom of the pool ! Really ?

Yep, in the pool!

I take em straight from the hole in the shavings @Jpat

It's still pretty early in spring, so production still isn't in high gear yet. The next couple months should bring the majority of them into laying. Only two of my four muscovy ducks are laying right now. Both girls lay huge eggs!

Here's some I blew out the other day.
On the left is a duck egg, the middle is from a standard chicken that just started laying and the one on the right is from a bantam chicken.

My ducks also like to kick around their eggs!

My Muscovy don’t play with their eggs but my Runner like to play soccer with theirs. Nice eggs @Thejperez !

My girls don't play soccer, but the eggs tend to end up away from where they got layed. Silly girls.

Muscovies are huge ducks! And usually lay large eggs. The drakes can be 15+ pounds. Ducks are closer to 10.

The silver one and the larger chocolate one are drakes. The other two are ducks. My boys are big!

These are the two ducks that are laying. With the chocolate drake in the background.
