Still getting eggs in January

[80slady]

It's my first Cayuga!! They're a black duck, I have 3, they just started laying in January lol

Cayuga ducks are American breed in up state New York in the 1800s . Isn't something

Heavens no!

I just always mention that when someone asks about chickens picking on each other.

Oh no I totally agree! I'm just referring as much as I can lol I appreciate your kind words and advice sincerely I'm new to fowl, itc will be 1 yr in June that I've had my ducks so everything is very much appreciated

Hi,

Overcrowding is usually the first cause for picking. Chickens need about 4 square feet each in a coop. If you have a hen that's being a bully, we've separated a hen on occasion for a few days, put her back, and it stopped.

We're still getting chicken eggs, and it's been sub-zero here, just only about 1/4 of the eggs we'd usually get. That's amazing for you though!!

Thank you and I'm so glad you're getting eggs too! We're so lucky with the price of eggs! I've been gifting mine to close friends that are not loving them some duck eggs!!

I did put a big plastic tote with the front cut out on the coop so she can lay her eggs with privacy.. I think that's helping some too. My deer runner has been laying and just yesterday finding the black Cayuga egg that could be the issue as well. The duck saga continues lol

Awe, thank you! They're very kick back, relaxed in persality. They were bread in the USA as an American duck noted for their weight and meat. They're a heavier duck and on the national endangered list with only I think 1,100 readers in the USA. Originally from New York! I love they're made in the U.S.A
