Runner duck not laying yet

Ok thanks. And any dish we put the oyster shells in she instantly knocks over!

I use this and screw it into the wall.

What breed/breeds have you got?

 

[DaphneTheDuck]

Very lucky! I have 1 male runner duck 1 female runner Rouen cross female (who laid her first egg today) and for chickens 2 bantams one male one female and 3 rescued hybrids. And yet we only get 1 egg a day

I only get around four eggs a day from 32 birds, they are starting to get old. It doesn't bother me that much, I love having them around even if they don't lay eggs.

How old is she? I have 3 Runners that haven’t started yet one almost 5 months 2 going on 7 months

My duck won't lay can anyone help she is runner plus she mates and recently has been laying down and eating a lot

 

[DuckyDonna]

how old is she?

 

[DaphneTheDuck]

Not sure but she mates.

she is the smaller one

 

[DaphneTheDuck]

Well I can def. vouch for when she starts you’ll forget having to wait for her to start. She’ll probably lay straight for 18 months my 2016 yr Runners did. You have 5 ducks 2 are Pekin? What the other 2?besides the Runner.
All your help has worked first duck egg! It's tiny and soft shelled but none the less an egg. Thanks for the help!

One more thing, do I need to add more calcium to their as it was soft shelled? Thanks
