I was given a pair of Khaki Campbell's ducks that are about 24 weeks and a drake with 3 females that are about 19 weeks. All are in the same pen together. They have a small barn style house with bedding in nesting box, no eggs yet. My question is, when might my females start laying. Also, when should I begin feeding layer pellets? Right now they're given Purina flock raiser with a little cracked corn mixed in (2 cups corn with 10 cups grain) their feed container. They have a pool (changed every other day), a fountain waterer and pan of water (cleaned daily). The person who gave me the 6 ducks has 2 Pekin ducks who just started laying 2 days ago at 16/17 weeks old.
They're pen is the one between the 2 larger coops until we can get they're new pen with a creek fed pond built hopefully before it snows (a friend is going loan us the equipment, but can't get until he can haul it to us).
