She's a Muscovy. I've been told they take longer to mature than Mallard descendants so I am constantly anxious with worry not knowing when it will happen. Also, I don't know if cleaning their house & refluffing the bedding everyday will make her feel it's not safe to lay her egg in there.
Thank you! Kids were super excited! I homeschool and last year brooding the Pekin ducklings was part of their science
. This year a lot of the curriculum is homesteading based. They loved being able to use their ducks eggs to bake a cake, adds an extra level of satisfaction for them. They'll also be learning about what natural herbs stimulate laying and darker yokes as well as immune support, anti-inflammatories and much more.
