Mallards laying in fall?

[The Duck Dad]

so my two mallards just started laying yesterday, and they were hatched in april. so, even if they are laying right now, will they still lay in the spring?

My Pekin matured to begin laying last December and continued laying regularly until fall molt

A few weeks back i found the nest my mallard was tending under meath the deck. She had like 15 eggs in it. I destroyed as I do NOT want more than my 5 ducks. She quit laying. I was consistently getting 2 eggs a day from my other two ducks. Yesterday i made sure i moved all the shavings to find any eggs. I am fairly confident i found all eggs (4). This morning i found SIX eggs. So maybe yes, your mallards may lay all winter. No slowing down in Northeastern Nevada. In fact they are increasing!!!

I just found this under the ramp to the deck. Ducktard Mallard has her stash here. I hate it when i have to destroy all those eggs. Subdivision (even though we are "rural" on 2 acre mobile home lots, 5 ducks is the max. Fall has not slowed the little bitty down at all.

It is not unusual for domestic ducks to lay as soon as they hit maturity no matter what time of year that is. They should lay in the spring as well.
