Buff duck not laying.

[LReardon]

I've tried to look this up, but just wanted some expert answers. My ducks will both be one in April. Drake is Pekin, hen is Buff. She had been laying consistently almost daily until about six weeks ago. She stopped and started nesting. A few weeks later I put some chicken eggs under her. None hatched and were bad. She still isn't laying, and since the chicks didn't hatch last week and I removed them (they smelled awful) she is up and active again, but still no eggs? Normal? She is eating and appears active and healthy.

It takes time after being Broody to begin laying again. About 6 weeks or so. She is normal..
