When do they lay?

[Stacyoung13]

I have a three month old Black Swedish and a two-month-old White Peckin. My question is, how old will they be before they start to lay eggs?

About five months old, I think. My Campbell started at about five months, but my Welshies didn’t start until last month because they came to maturity during the fall I guess.

Thank you, I know ducks are good about hiding their eggs, and was trying to find out when to start looking.

No problem! Though in my experience is depends on the duck whether or not they hide their eggs. I have one or two that just lay their eggs wherever. But yeah, wait a couple months and by early spring you should have some ducky eggs.
