My Khakis age 2 and 3 seemed to have stopped laying eggs??? It's been at least a month?? I'm terrified!! I haven't bought eggs in 2 years, help!!

My khakis were sick over a month ago, I charcoal scurried then back to health but shortly after they stopped laying eggs?? Is there a sickness that stops them from laying eggs?? They are fine otherwise, eating, pooping, drinking, swimming, running, playing, just perfect?? What happened

Sick with what? What does charcoal scurried mean?

Why are you terrified? There's no need to be, it's ok. What is their diet?

The charcoal slurry is to remove toxins made with activated charcoal.

I thought ducks only laid during a certain time of the year??? Am I wrong about that?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Young laying ducks once they start laying can and do lay all thru the year[taking short breaks ] until around 2 yrs old then they will start taking winter breaks. My Muscovy have always laid spring through early fall then they are done till the following spring.

I am doing the Purina Duck food, might switch back to the all flock. Think they need anything as a supplement?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Many on here feed Purina duck feed and like it but there has been some controversy about Purina lately so you might want to try a different feed not made by Purina just to see if laying starts up again. Put out oyster shells for them because they may need extra calcium put a bowl of it close to their feed but not in it. My layers are on Layer feed and still eat oyster shells like candy.

It's normal for laying birds to take breaks. Just be patient
