Duck eggs....how to know?

As long as the coop door is open, you can let her out whenever. She will go in to lay if needed.

Ok cool. But she lays down on so many other piles of hay around the garden I doubt she would go back in to lay.

She instantly runs to the ledge near the camera after drinking

Can anyone help as my female runner duck still hasn't layed. She's a rescue and so we don't know her age but she mates and lays down a lot

Could you give us some more information? What do you feed her? Is she alone? Does she get around ok? More about your setup?

 

[DaphneTheDuck]

She is fed layer pellets all day grit and she forages although we have no grass left. She has a male friend and gets around fine drinking eating and mating but mainly laying down. A picture of the house is better.

Thanks. And how old do you presume mine is?

Know way of me exactly telling you her age, although the way her abdomen droops and her overall appearance makes me think she is over two years of age.

 

[DaphneTheDuck]

Do you reacon she has laid before at some point in her life then?

Most likely, how long have you had her?
