Duck Laying

[Duckbreeder2020]

Hi y’all! I have 5 Pekin ducks, 3 Buff Orpington’s, and 2 White Crested ducks. They are all 9.7 weeks old. When will they start laying eggs? I herd duck eggs taste great and I was wondering when my ducks were going to start laying.

Usually 16-24 weeks old, although it varies by breed and genetics.

When are pekins specifically?

When are pekins specifically?

I don't know about pekins in particular, but I imagine definitely no earlier than 4 months old.

I have a Pekin and she started laying at about five months old.
