I have 6 month old ducks and they have stopped laying. I had a Blue Swedish lay almost everyday for about 10 days and then I introduced 4 female mallards and she stopped laying. It has been a month and still no eggs. My female Pekin never started to lay (in the coop at least) and the mallards do not lay eggs either. They are a year old. I have put fake eggs in their coop to see if that helps and it has not. They cover it up as if it is a real egg but they are still not laying in there. It is possible that they are laying close to our big pond but it would not be easy for me to find that because of the size (it is about 1/2 acre), cattail and other misc plants surrounding it. Right now my ducks are just decoration and entertainment. Ha!
I will note that the new female mallards are not friendly towards the other ducks.
