henriette Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 What breed of duck is she? I think that makes a difference. The Aylesbury ducks I used to have always laid in their night-time house, even though they had a pond. Do you put Daisy in a house at night? If so, maybe you could try leaving her in there until you think she might have laid her egg. Maybe until 9.00am or so. On the other hand maybe she just isn't ready to lay! Hopefully, someone else will have more help for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi she could be laying her eggs anywhere my ducks get locked in their house at night and they have normally laid by the time they get let out but sometimes they lay them whereever they are in the garden and in the pond i only find them when i pump it out once a week and then i chuck them away have a good look around and see if you can find any.

MA0778 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Daisy is a min appleyard i was late letting them out this morning so they were in from 7pm to 10am i cannot empty the pond as it it about 25ft by 15ft 3ft deep as you say maybe she is not ready yet, but she some times does a strange dance when i am about she puts her head down very low and to the side and scurries about the garden and Donald just does as she says (she is very bossy with him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
