Hi All,
This is my first time with ducks, I was given 3 baby hatchlings (Pekin Ducks) from a school. THey looked fully grown when I got them at a month old. They are now about 6 months, still no curl feather in their tail and very noisy so I expect they are hens. My question is when and where will I find the eggs when they lay. I keep them locked up at night but they free roam through the day as they make too much noise if not let out. I check the yard for any nesting sites but nothing so far. Do they lay every 25 hours, like hens .and will they lay in there enclosure when the time comes. I live in Aus and its summer here.
