Awesome video with Pat Benatar and the ducks moving in slow motion. Too cool.The only sign I ever got in the beginning was an egg. I think the ducks were more surprised than I. Now that they are seasoned, they make nests, make nests and make nests. Sometimes get broody and pull feathers out and make nests. Sit in nests and make nests. But that varies by duck. Here is an old video of Snow dropping an egg - the only sign she shows is slowing down a bit. My Rouens started laying at 7 mo. I would think call ducks would mature at about the same rate. They are the same species, just bred for small size and loud mouths![]()
