I’m in Vermont, but it’s similarly cold and dark and shall be for the foreseeable future. My three free-loaders usually start up the fist week of April!

Edited to add: I have a coworker with Pekins who brought in eggs last week. She insists that she doesn’t use artificial light too.I think they are only 1 and a half years old or so though.

If you feed your ducks with more protein during the Winter season they very likely continue laying eggs. My duckies get some cat-food every morning and evening.

I found eleven eggs in the duck house after an extensive "Easter-Egg Hunt". Seems they started the Easter-Bunny training early this year,

Have you figured out who is laying yet?

It is my girl penguin, she was laying on top of a VERY warm egg the other day. Also I let them out very early one morning and she ran into the bushes and laid an egg. Not sure why the other one isn't laying yet.

I got 1 egg from my EE today. She just recently started laying, and she's laid an egg almost every day!

I would give that a try, but I don’t really mind them being free-loaders. Plus, winter gives me a break from Broody Muscovy Woes and Daphne’s Egg-Laying Crises!

And in fact the hens do need some kind of a break from the egg laying business. I tried to cut back on the treats in the morning but the ducks gave me a lot of stink-eyes!

Day before last I got a proper sized duck egg covered in black speckles, then nothing yesterday, and today back to chicken egg size, but olive green coloring.
