Swedish Black Duck Eggs???

[RostedDuck]

How many eggs can she lay? Does she act or sound different during or after she has the egg? What should she eat? How should her environment be set up? In the morning I take her out of her cage and she goes to her little pond. Should she have something soft in her cage so she can have eggs?

Ducks probably react as any kind of poultry does when laying eggs. Loud, stressed, and easily irritated. Swedish ducks can lay 60 - 100 eggs per year, which is pretty good compared to most ducks. You wouldn't get on every day, maybe 3 per week at most.

If you want to get her to lay, make sure she has enough light, correct food, soft bedding in the nestboxes, and you can try putting in golf balls to encourage her.

Hay and straw are the best. Also, check out some herbs to calm, and stimulate laying. Here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/users/subscriptions/index/view/activity
