HI a frend of mine has just got sume ducks and wants to know wat age do they start to lay eggs thanks
-
I read some where 18-21 weeks like hens, but daylight plays a part as winter comes. Some put a light on in the housing to raise daylight hours? to encourage egg laying?
-
My sister had some once, they didn't lay, so we ate them. That may have been the season, I can't remember. they've never been bred for egg laying, so you don't get as many, or as long a season.

Thanks i will tell her to try a light she wont eat them lol
