Anyone know anything about silky ducks

[BelValleyDaisy]

Hi all, i'm trying to make an info page on ducks but can't find anything on the silky duck.
Does anyone know if they are classed as bantam ducks?
what is their incubation time?
what colour eggs do they lay?
how many eggs do they lay a year?
and what is their lifespan?

I'm talking about the silkie DUCK by the way, not chicken

thankyou

Do you mean the crested duck? I don’t think there’s a breed called silkie

I've got silkies. Still babies at the moment, but I can answer your questions since I hatched them

They are classed as bantams.

They hatch in 26-28 days.

Eggs are white to green tinged.

No idea how many eggs they lay a year, but since they're bantams it's not going to be like the large production breeds. They have lifespans like normal ducks.
