Hello,
I recently got six runner ducks as I want to produce duck eggs. I've read that they lay somewhere between 100 - 200 eggs per year on multiple sources. I have never seen a number below 100. However, I got my ducks from two different people and both told me, they only lay in spring and about 30 per year. What's the matter with that? Are all those numbers above 100 for runners that were specifically bred to be efficient layers? Or did I get something entirely different (see picture)??
