So my pekin that started laying 2 weeks ago have been laying almost every day.
Problem is she's only laid 4 eggs that are duck-egg-sized. The rest are smaller than chicken eggs.
Sounds like not that big of a problem and she should soon start laying duck-sized eggs on a regular basis right? Well, here is a cause of concern, all her duck-sized eggs she has laid are double-yolkers.
Not that I'm hatching any of them, but I much prefer egg white to egg yolks. Is this usually the normal laying pattern of newly-laying ducks? Or do I have to accept she'll always lay double-yolkers like this?
