Ducks Decreased Egg Laying : Season? Molting? Mating?

[KathiQuacks]

THIS week we have seen a sudden jump in egg production, (double the winter average) JUST as the new moon arrived, for what will be the full moon near the solstice. I think the ducks are just smarter naturalist than myself. More attune to the "change'n times" than my human self.

That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you and your hens

I have also not yet found a nest or broody hen. ....but who know what the spring will hold!

Thank you all for your time, your thoughts, and suggestions! I learned a lot and took a lot of notes. I hope everyone has a very successful breeding season! @cheezenkwackers @KathiQuacks

Of course! I’m happy to help if you ever have any more questions. I’ve already had a very early, successful breeding season, but thank you so much! I wish you the same May you get a broody hen or two.
