Questions about my ducks

[Meri Maura]

These are my first ducks. I got four, and now I have 2. A Khaki Campbell drake named Khaki and a Mallard duck named Mallery(very creative names). They are about 6 mo. old and are an adorable couple. they have a large trough of water they swim in. I'm in the process of building them and us a pond-like pool(no chemicals). I was wondering when Mallery will start to lay eggs, and if they will have ducklings.

The average time for a duck to lay is around 6 moths...but it can take longer. If you see your drake mating her she is most likely laying eggs that’s at least how I have found out my ducks are laying.

She should start to lay soon. Where are you located?

There is a chance they will have ducklings but probably wont be an every year sort of thing

was wondering when Mallery will start to lay eggs,

and if they will have ducklings.

Both questions asked are highly variable and will depend on several factors; six months is a common age for a duck to start going into lay, but oftentimes you may have a duck start laying much later, or much earlier.

There are various signs you can look out for that suggest she is close to laying. The best indicator I have found that the bird is close to laying is simply increased time inside the coop, in an attempt to find a perfect nesting area.

In regards to your latter question, no one here can tell you if they will have ducklings or not - any proposal that they will is a guess at best. Providing a dark, quiet, safe nesting area with adequate amounts of eggs to nest on will increase the likely hood of her going broody.
