[BellLisamo]

Here is my pekin (she has no name)

cayuga (no name)

I think they are both female, i think they are 4 months old???


When do ducks start laying?

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing!

NICE ducks. Really not sure about the egg thing.

 

[BellLisamo]

anyone know when i can put them in with my other ducks??? (drake and hen?)

Hi ducks!

This link says they'll start laying between 20 and 24 weeks, so very soon if they're 4 months.

It seems like most folks on BYC recommend a 30-day quarantine, but I don't know.

thanks!

as for quarantine, yeah ive had them in their own pen from the time i got them. But im worried about putting them in with a drake because he would mate them!!!

Very nice ducks and I'm not a big Pekin fan but your little girlie is very sweet looking and I ADORE Cayugas.

Nah, you know, just one of those little things where I knew someone who had Pekins and they were VERY unfriendly and one bit my brother. I'm sure they were the exception but it's one of those things I never got over. In my head Pekins are unfriendly, not pet type ducks.
