Same here one of my Wh's started laying and then we thing the second one... I am now getting two eggs a day for several days then maybe one, then two again... Drake hasn't figured out what to do.. But he is trying..

My Rouen and Cayuga's are laying daily. Very tasty.

Our cayugas (they're pure black so I just assume cayuga) just started laying 2 weeks ago. We have 5 females and 2 males, and we're getting about 1 green egg per day, but most days they're broken due to being laid on concrete. I put some unbroken ones in the incubator! We also got 1 larger white egg that looks like a regular duck egg. The green ones are small like a chicken egg.

I'm not sure just how many my girl is laying... I fish about 2-3 out of the pond through out the week... I'm sure their are more, I just can't reach them!

I have 6 Khaki Campbells, and am getting about 5 eggs a day, sometimes 6. My flock has been decimated recently by predators... coyote or fox, I think. My poor ducks got traumatized, and it was all my fault. They put themselves in their coop every night, and all I have to do is go out and take up the ramp and latch the duck door. Well, one night recently, I went out later than usual, and it was very dark, and I closed their door as usual, totally forgetting that earlier in the day I had been cleaning out the coop, and the front door was still open. So I locked their little door and left the big "man door" open. Two got eaten that night. The next night, they refused to come up from the pond and go to sleep in their coop; I can't really blame them, but that left them vulnerable, and two more were missing in the morning. For a few more nights, sometimes they would come up and sometimes they wouldn't, and I ended up losing 2 more.

They are finally calmed down and sleeping in the coop regularly again, and laying regularly. I have 6 of my Khakis left, and there are 3 Cayugas and 2 Rouens and 1 Runner who should all start laying in the next month. I don't expect them (except maybe the Runner) to lay every day like the Khakis do, though.

In the spring, I plan on getting a dozen or so Welsh Harlequins. And I shall never, never, again leave the coop open for the predators!

Oh, we are eating the eggs, and selling a few, and giving away the rest. A friend of mine reported that her toddler said this the other morning: "Mama, I want scambaled eggs! No chicken eggs! Ducks eggs!" I guess that's an endorsement.
