Do call ducks only lay eggs in spring

[Callduckmaster_12]

hi y’all I am new to call ducks. I have kept chickens in the past for many years and am now into call ducks. I picked up a pair of call ducks three week ago and the hen has not laid any eggs yet. The people told me they were about three years old and I know generally call ducks can lay eggs for many years past three. And they also don’t play that many eggs per year usually about 90 or so. Is it possible that she is still acclimating or do they only lay eggs in the spring? I have also not witnessed any breeding but I know she can still lay eggs with them not breeding. Thanks for any input

Calls are seasonal layers. Mine are done for the year now and I don't expect to get any eggs from them until spring.

Mine did lay some eggs in the fall last year but it didn't last very long and no-one seemed to want to be broody.

Yes. Seasonal layers. Mine are done and my Drake is in eclipse so no breeding here..

Mine just started laying, wondering how long they'll stay laying.

Maybe because of the cold nights and warm days I hope she lays a few in the fall
