How Long Till she stops laying mixed breed

[duck&chickencrazy]

I have raised all my ducks together (the males and females) and now that they are laying eggs, all the eggs are mixed breed. i was just wondering if anyone knew how long before they will stop laying the mixed breed and begin laying the same breed eggs (if i put them with a male of their breed)

Hi,


Your ducks will keep on laying mixed breed eggs with a diffrent species of duck unless you seperate them into diffrent pens with their own type...

yes i know that but i just need to know how long before they will stop laying the mixed. They are separated now and have been for a day or so. I have heard that it is at least a month.

I know with chickens it can be up to 4 weeks with the avg. being 2-3 weeks. Most people say to give them at least that 4 weeks to be on the safe side. HTH.

Yes 3-4 wks is the norm, a month after seperation and you should be at 95% pure or better.

1 month min. You can wait a month and a half to be sure

I'd wait at least a month, you should be fine by then !!
