When do they start laying?

[1lpoock]

Some of you might know that I have 6 khaki campbells and 6 cayugas that are only 3 days old. What age do they start laying at....also, when they are about to lay, what feed do I switch to. Would the Dumor 16% Layer Poultry feed work fine with ducks. One more thing, when they do start laying, will the eggs be fertilized or will that not happen to next spring when they are ready to mate. I'm just wondering if I'll get fertilized eggs this fall. Will they mate both breeds mate year round? Or just the campbells?

Anyone have experience with these breeds?

Ducks start to lay when they are 20 to 22 weeks
If they are with a male the eggs should be fertile.
Both breeds will mate year round.
Dumor 16% Layer Poultry feed will work for ducks.
