How soon will a duck lay after mating?

Hi! My two 5 month old mallards recently paired up. When will my hen lay eggs? I do have oyster shells out in their pen.

She could lay today or a year from now. No way to tell.

Okay, thank you!

Okay, thank you!

Since she is a seasonal layer she may not lay till next spring. @Spyderk117
