Runner duck: how long after hatching ducklings will a hen lay eggs again??

[tomynoks]

I have a hen with 5-10 week old ducklings. She has not began to lay eggs again yet. When can I expect her too??

It depends on the duck, my Muscovys start laying again between 8-12 weeks typically.

Does it matter if she raises them? I mean if the ducklings are taken away or sold at a few days old will she begin laying sooner?

Welcome to Backyard chickens. I think your questions will best be answered by folks on the "Duck thread."
