Cayuga duck eggs

[mdhutch]

Are your ducks in a coop or free ranging? It is possible she has laid more eggs but they just haven't been found. I know that when mine start laying, some of their eggs are so dark they blend in with the ground. I've mistaken them for rocks before! And they can lay pullet sized eggs too which can make them easy to miss (small eggs).
It could just be your hens though. I've had some that lay one everyday once they start and others that lay now and then for the first few weeks until they get the hang of it.
And Cayugas are known to lay 100-150 eggs per year. They are seasonal and will only lay in the warm months. But where you

New to this forum thing...I got 3 female and 1 male Cayuga, as well as a male & female Muskovie, and 3 chickens, all last November or so. The Female Cayuga's dropped eggs wherever they were standing, intermittently, all winter, then early spring started laying in nests. They live all over the back yard, pooping, trimming the grass, and splashing it the ponds. Hatched a batch of 13 out of 17 laid two months ago, now the other 2 mamas are sitting together on about 25, ready to pop. The first mama is setting again on another dozen for about 2 weeks, and now my Muskovie has 14, but hasn't started setting yet. I'm in southeast Portland, 1/8th acre lot, and ducks up the wazoo, if anybody wants some. I'll eat them if I have to, but I'd just as soon give them away.

young and just starting to lay, it is possible they may lay through part of the winter.

Well I have a pair and it's 2/3/23 and I went to put them in there was one black egg right when I opened door surprise me
