How often do call ducks lag eggs?

[Bryam]

My call ducks are 10 months old and this is their first time laying eggs. My 2 hens started laying every second day . Two weeks have past and recently I have been getting eggs daily. Is that normal? Do call ducks generally lay an egg a day?

Got more eggs!!!

Yes that is normal, although call ducks are seasonal layers like mallards. Congratulations on the eggs!

Okay, so what is season that call ducks lay in? Will they lay all summer?


One hen seems interested in going broody. If I keep putting her outside will it break it, or will she stop laying eggs at this point?

Thanks!

Hmm I'm not sure (just mallards here) but I think they stop laying in the cold seasons. Maybe ask in the call duck thread? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/292411/da-cute-and-cuddly-call-duck-thread
