I'll be weighing them soon.

The laying rate (eggs per annum), I have to trap nest for a year. I'll see to that.

Also, I assume They will only lay 25-ish a year, judging by their type. We'll see.

Sorry can yu explain the 15 to 30 eggs a day......I dont get it. 15 to 30 eggs they will lay a day...per day for 2 months. Am I getting this right

Edited to ask. Is this 15 to 30 eggs a day with 1 duck laying the 15 to 30 eggs a day for 2 months

I think she mean they lay every day for only one month out of the year. Im kinda confused myself though

 

[Ducks and Banny hens]

Sorry, I said that incorrectly. I meant an egg a day for about a month like most wildtypes do.

 

[gofasterstripe]

oh ok. So this isnt a domestic type duck then. Its like a wild duck, like wood ducks and teals and such

No, it's domestic mallard. Wildtype means like wild; colored like wild, or, acts like wild, or, in this case, lays like the wild mallard.
