VERY VERY helpful.

So if I have 4 ducks, each a matched pair, am I looking at potential issues? I have 6 right now, but plan to thin out to a matched pekin pair and a matched khaki pair.

Thanks, Amiga!! Tomorrow is the deadline...

That is so cool. I wish mine would stand still for a photo

I've been waiting for my ducks to lay and they are 20 weeks. Thought the eggs were supposed to be big but couldn't figure out which chickens eggs these were. Now I'm thinking they are my 2 female khakis. The eggs are just slightly bigger than my bantams eggs. Is this normal? And do you all think the egg in the middle is a duck eg? The small white one is my bantam and the brown is my Orpington. Thanks!!

Looks like it could be a duck egg, kinda hard to tell for sure.

I'm sure that -like chickens- ducks start out with smaller eggs when they first begin laying. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Mine are all at 16 weeks tomorrow so I need to start planning a bit for potential eggs. I think some of my boys may be starting to pick on each other a bit so it may be time to thin things out some

The color of the egg is about right (is it a bit dirty?) Mine were a bit larger than nice sized chicken eggs. It's been a while but I remember they filled the egg box nicely
