Well they made me a liar. Little sneaks. There were two Khaki eggs and 3 Cayuga this a.m.

Ha, they love to do that!

Quote:
My Runners, a smaller breed than Cayugas, were laying between 16 and 22 weeks, so I'd think she has another 6 weeks to go, more or less. I would go ahead and set out the free choice oyster shell and make sure she's getting good quality food, I would avoid corn and starchy stuff. She's still developing on the inside. Vitamins once a week or so might give her a boost, too.

We have 3

  I have 1 Muscovy still laying but it won't be long till she is finished for this year. All the rest are through or brooding on nothing.

We have 3 WH females. My youngest just started laying 18 days ago but it's been duck egg dry for months for us. We are in Southern CA & summers are very hot here. I'm hoping as the weather cools that my 2 adult females will start laying again.

So today has been a good day. My baby boy is no longer lonely. I introduced a new female today. And not to discredit another duck lover but wow is she small compared to my other three. She seems skinny. I feed mine a gollon tea jug full of fresh feed every day, kitchen scraps, and garden trimmings. Plus day old bread, and freah cut grass. She was warmly welcomed though. I love her. And my nibbles love her. She will be very loved.

what type of things do you feed your ducks? Mine won't eat anything other than rice crispies and bugs.
