How big was Ninya's first couple eggs? I am pretty sure my girl just laid one. My ducks don't lay eggs bigger than 90 grams (and that's freakishly large for them) most of their eggs range from 60-78 grams. 80 on a good day with my Pekins. The one that was laid today was very big, the shell was insanely thick, the yolk was as big as a chicken egg and it was covered in a thick thick bloom. It weighed 114 grams. I've never seen such a thick shell in my life. I had to bang it hard on my granite counter and then try to pry it open once I made headway.Ninya started laying eggs in Nov 15. She has laid an egg every other day except twice when she went two days between.
So 35 eggs later, when should she stop or will she?
Her eggs are gorgeous and Charlie is very protective when she is in the coop laying her egg. she covers it with straw and comes out for her morning swim.
I know the eggs are fertile, but because of her problem with slipped tendon when she was adopted, I won't let her hatch her own eggs just in case it is a genetic rather than an environmental issue.
Neither will sleep in their coop at night, but Ninya does go in during the day.
Then
And now
and eggs a pullet, a large Australorp and then Ninya's egg
She's only about 10 months old I think.
