If they both quack they are girls. Ducks usually start laying at 4-5 months old. However, when that age is reached during the fall or winter they may wait until spring to start. I would guess yours might do that. I would look for eggs in late winter (Jan -Feb).
Oh they are loud LOL Dolly the blue runner lets me know when she wants some treats! Dre the white crested is also loud but is a bit more shy Dolly is the leader and these two are very bonded. I am so happy they are girls as they were raised with chickens and I think they believe they are chickens LOL I didnt want to have to separate them (they all free range together) I am so happy I got them they are really fun! Thanks for the input!!!
Thank you! I kind of thought that might be the case since the weather is changing right about the time they might start laying
Thanks! I have heard so many ages I was told 18 weeks then 20 weeks everyone on the board here agrees with you so I am trusting that I have always had good info here!
It was also my very first duck egg and the information here made it possible. These people are all very knowledgeable and helpful it has become the only place I seek for help/advice and so far its been the best decision I could have made
