Hi, so back in May of this year I got four Rouen ducks from Cackle Hatchery. They are free range in the yard and I lock them up in the chicken run at night. So far I haven't found an egg, but I thought they should be laying by now. Maybe they have a nest somewhere? Or are they just not laying yet? Any help appreciated.

My ducks usually start around 4.5 months old
But winter hit just as my younger 6 were coming to the 4.5 months
Only one started right as winter hit
Now we are having spring like weather and my ducks are now over 6 months and 3 more started this week
2 of my older girls have stayed laying through winter and 3 have stopped
I still have 2 of my younger who have not started yet
The ducks could be hiding them somewhere or they just didn’t start before winter started
I have a mix of ducks
