Arkansas folks speak up.........

I'm sorry Rayray, are your welsh harleys not laying yet? She told me when I got mine that the female was about laying age (hadn't started yet but should in the next month).

she told me the same thing when I got mine and i'm still waiting maybe they need time to adjust to their new homes and the weather hasn't helped but she did say the wh were her best layers odd since she also has khaki Campbells, I have a kc and wh hen from her and neither are laying yet.

Lol she told me the same thing y'all and I've had mine over 6 weeks now :-/ but all things happen in time I suppose

My Pekins are a year old and have only ever layed 4 eggs.

@ozark and @rayray, I'm sorry... I wonder if its because they are younger than she thought, or the weird weather, combined with stress of a new move. I'm hoping mine settle in fairly quickly, get friendlier, and start laying.

Rayray, Ozark, did your ducks eat at first? I'm not sure if mine are just nervous or what but I don't think they have ate at all... although they have been playing in the water!

they were a little slow to start eating

 

[rayray983]

Mine ate like they hadn't ate in forever and are still little pigies!!!! Every time I feed them they act like its been forever

Well I give up on duck eggs for now I candled tonight and all the pretty red veins have disappeared and what veins that were left turned brownish black in color absolutely no movement and what used to be embryos are all dark so I tossed them one was stinking already I'll stick with chickens for a bit longer and just hatch my duck eggs when they start

 

[rayray983]

Now I need a good source for chicken eggs again the guy I found in Mt view fired up his incubator so getting eggs is a lil tougher my original source of eggs not naming names but seems like even the pures they have arnt the best colorations so I'm stuck lol I have a empty incubator and its breaking my heart hahaha
