primrose (my girl duck), was giving buttercup (my boy duck) a piggy back ride today. :oops: :oops: :oops:

primrose hasnt laid any eggs yet, though she is more than old enough, im putting it down to the dark days.

i dont know anything about the breeding of ducks, ie ages, seasons etc, can anyone throw any light on the subject, thanks

Hi,

If your drake is "treading" her she should start to lay as. My drakes tread and I get eggs most days they do have a day off like chickens though. Out of 4 ducks I get 3 eggs most days som days I get 4

Enjoy, duck eggs make great cakes
