Indian runner not laying

[pamandtony]

I have a female (pretty sure) one year old who has not yet laid eggs that I know of. She does not have the curl on the tail and she quacks. We had a drake but had to re-home him as they would both gang up on my white hens and rip their feathers out until raw. I also have added 2 female Muscovey ducks to the flock. They are already laying in the nesting boxes. They are all in a large run and have a large pen with coop. If she has laid I would have seen them somewhere in there. Any ideas?

Sorry no one has replied. I have asked some runner experts to come read your thread.

Have you searched the run for any secret nesting spots, they will lay a clutch and cover it up sometimes. Are you positive of her age?

I have. Yes we got her as a baby a year ago.

I have no idea why your Runner isn’t laying my Runners were 4.5 months when they started laying. Does she ever go into her house and make a nest or lay in her house at all?

I'm stumped too, the only thing I can think of is some type of genetic abnormality in her reproductive system that'll never let her lay an egg.

That’s what I am thinking.
