Duck & turkey eggs, are they worth it?

[Tweeza]

I've noticed alot of you also have ducks, turkey and other birds. The ducks and turkeys, do they have a laying season or do they lay more like chickens? My DD is sensitive to chicken eggs but can have duck eggs (according to the tests).

Mine are seasonal layers....although I have Cayugas & Muscovies. My silkys are not laying, yet...but Khaki Campbells may lay more than these others...

How long is a season and how many eggs do they lay?

Thanks

Khaki's and runners can lay all year. My Buff duck is a seasonal layer but can still lay over 200 eggs a year. I can react at times to chicken eggs if I have too many that is why I am trying the ducks. I just got them, so they are adjusting to their home and not laying yet.

We had a pekin duck who was laying every day until the geese killed her.

I think she would have laid eggs all year long. They were very nice, slightly smaller than my chickens were laying.

I have rouen ducks, they hatched in april, she started laying in Sept. and has laid an egg almost everyday since. Not sure if they have a season or not, but she sure doesn't seem like she does.
