Ducks in the henhouse??

[Chick1043]

I went outside to get some eggs and found my Cayuga drake and my 22 week old Indian Runner duck. When I opened the door (where you get the eggs) the Indian Runner duck ran out of one of the nests. I saw that both ducks were up in the nests. Could it be that my Indian Runner wants to lay and my Drake follows her? Thanks

It sounds like they could just be exploring their settings. My ducks rarely spend time near a nest unless they are broody.

Interesting! Makes sense too!

One of my Rouen females will go off to lay her eggs in the brush, and two or three drakes will follow her. It's normal.

Sounds good to me! Except, my drake scares the chickens away!! lol I built the Indian Runner a bigger nest since the regular chicken nests are too small for her anyways

My girls tend to just burry their eggs in their run, underneath the hay. I have to hunt their pen in the morning for eggs! LOL One of my Rouens lays her eggs in the bushes, right outside their pen. I still haven't found her nest. Silly girl
