Ducks not laying

[NCISDUCKS]

My females are not laying eggs. When I received them a couple months ago they were all very under weight. I've gotten them back up to a healthy weight but they still aren't laying. I'm wondering if that could still be affecting them?

Malnutrition can affect a lot of things. How old are they now and how long has it been since they are now at a healthy weight?

Honestly I can't be sure on age she said they are two. It took about three weeks to get them back up to weight so about five weeks now.

In my experience whenever they get stressed or are moved to a new home they will stop laying eggs for some time

They may still be getting used to their new home and given they were malnourished it may take longer for them to get back in working order, What are you feeding them?

The reason she gave them away was because they stopped laying

I feed them duck pellets and fresh veggies with apples as a special treat once a week with some night crawlers

Underweight and drop in egg production makes me think worms.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Might be true especially if the conditions they lived in wasn’t ideal.

They were kept in a chicken coop any way I could check for worms or should I haul them to the vet's office
