Egg laying

[Cass8710]

Hi!
About 5 to 6 weeks ago one of our ducks started laying. This was right at about 5 months. We arent sure which one out of our 3 (we have one drake and 3 little ladies). However I was expecting the others to start soon after. They are in the coop from about 545pm to 8am. Is it possible the others are laying elsewhere or have they just not started yet? Is there a way to tell which one is laying if its only one?

You can seperate, drop food coloring in the vent or look at the vent to see who is laying.

It's possible that someone else is laying. Ducks are notorious for dropping eggs wherever the mood hits them. I don't think my runner hen has used the same spot more than twice yet... Every day is an Easter egg hunt for her egg!

They free range out on the lake during the day so that will be disappointing if I cant get them to lay in the coop!
I'm going to try the food coloring so we know who is laying!
