Muscovies - how old when they start to lay?

[pbjmaker]

Can I expect any eggs at all from my young muscovy ducks this year? The oldest of the group are around 15- 16 weeks right now and are the same size as my full sized hen. My grown drake is chasing them down now too.

They are seasonal layers correct? My grown scovy is still laying and I don't want her to stop!

My Girls started to lay between 5 and 6 months old. If your drake is mating with them eggs won't be far behind. Mine start to lay in April and finish up sometime in September.
