peanut12 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Sorry for the ignorant question, but how many eggs do ducks lay a year? I have heard they lay less than a hen but more consistently, through the winter. Are Indian Runners good layers? Would they make a lot of noise?

Duckmomma Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi there It depends on the breed of duck as to how well they lay Indian Runners are a popular breed to keep due to their amusement factor (they have to be the funniest ducks to watch ) And they are one of the best layers, it's been said they lay better than some hens, often laying around two hundred or more eggs a year. Our Runner is now a year old and is laying pretty much every day And we have not found her noisy at all. Whatever you choose you will love keeping ducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My khaki campbell girls are brilliant layers - better then the hens. Barely missed a day since they started (about last October) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut12 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 thanks for the advice guys. I've also spoken to a breeder and the Head has given the go ahead for some Runners. Hoping to get them in this week as a nice surprise for the kids at school when they come back from half-term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
