Are buff ducks good layers? How many eggs would normally expect a week from them?

 

[Miss Lydia]

My Buffs are excellent layers of large X large eggs. As far as how many I haven’t counted but they only take off for molt and rest once in a while.

Thank you for your reply! Do you know how many you usually get from one hen per week?

I have 2 Buffs in my flock and they lay at least 5-6 eggs a week each when in their peak through spring and summer then they molted took off for that now they are back laying again they are going on 3 yrs old now so I am not sure if they will lay over winter like they did last 2 yrs

Great! Thanks for all the info! I'll be ordering some buff ducks from metzer farms soon

You’ll not be disappointed they also have great personalities

I have 22 females and get about 9-11 eggs a day at the moment. My buffs lay almost daily.

The only ducks that I know for absolute certain aren’t laying are my 3 Cayuga.

Great! I just ordered some from metzer farms, they should be here next week

Don’t forget we have to see those cuties when you get them.
