Why?!?! (AKA the "why arent my ducks laying anymore?" Thread!)

D'Angelo N Va. :

My pekins started laying about a month ago... My muscovies have stopped and my mallards have not started.

Muscovies are seasonal layers, they will lay in the spring/summer but stop for the winter.​

I was really loving the eggs when I was getting them....

I'm going out to check and see. Fingers crossed that I get an egg! (2 would be nice)

Mine hasn't started yet but I was told she will start around March. I've heard chickens are seasonal. Are ducks too? Or is it different with everyone?

I GOT 2 EGGS!! Woo Hoo! You know what this means? More Ducklings! I love those little boogers.

I have Mallards which I hear are seasonal, that's why I'm so excited for 2 eggs. I know it can stop at any minute. But my chickens have laid faithfully since they started a few months ago. I know it can vary with weather or moving them to a new pen. Also diet.
