Hi,
We have 12 Muscovy ducks. 8 are hens. We've had them since Feb 13th, and have really enjoyed them. We have been getting a average of 1 to 2 eggs a day. When we first got them(and only had 9) we got up to 6 eggs a day. It was like that until the time change(we live in Oregon) and it started getting lighter. The egg production decreased and while we first thought they were molting, it has been longer then the average molt, I think.
Any suggestions? We aren't sure how old exactly they are, but most are under a year and a half with the exception of our two dark ones, angel and Shadow. I think they are two years old. Could they be too old to lay now?
Also, what age are Muscovy Ducklings full grown?
Thank you,
Emily
