Need advice on pekins

[kari1981]

I have 6 pekin ducks, 2 males and 4 females. They are 14wks old. When do the females start laying and when do I begin laying food or oyster shells? Thanks

My birds usually lay around 6 months old depending on when they were born. I would add access to oyster shells around that time in a separate bowl.

Around 20 weeks. I have oyster shells available at all times starting around 18weeks in case they start early. They normally don't but I like to be prepared.
