If that's a recent pic I'd say younger than a year maybe 9-10 months old looking at her face.

We're up to six eggs this morning! I'm getting pretty excited to see this whole process occur
One of those looks like it might have hurt being laid though:-/

All of the girls are laying in one spot Miss Lydia. Does it matter that they're doing that? As in whoever goes broody first will be sitting on other girls egss.
As soon as one of them goes broody, I'll put another box in there. Have to get some more timber to build them a new one.
I put a big box on the ground for them thinking i don't want ducklings falling out of the box if it's up high but they're all laying in that one. That one is on the third 'floor' of thier pen and is about 7ft off the ground:-/
