We've got 3 drakes and 4 females, all around 4+ months old, I was wondering when they will start laying eggs? ALSO they are extremely scared of people, even though as ducklings I handled them a lot (they were so cute!!) Is there any way to get them more used to humans? I feel bad scaring them whenever I go in to change the water

Greetings from Kansas, Niltiac, and :welcome! Great to have you with us. I've found soft voices and slow movements do more to gain the trust of poultry more than anything. A pocketful of treats doesn't hurt either. :D. As to your laying questions, you might ask the folks in the Ducks Forum here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks
Best wishes and thanks for joining BYC!
 
Hi and welcome to BYC - great that you have joined us. @redsoxs gave you a great advice, as well as the link - the duck peeps are a nice bunch, and I'm sure that they will be able to help you.
