rmbex2004 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi all I have 2 indian runner ducklings which are nearly 5 weeks old. My neighbour was given them as a unwanted pressie. I already have 4 chickens so she asked if i could take them. From what she was told and from what research i have done one is male other female. Firstly what age do they start laying eggs? secondly i dont want baby ducklings running around so how can i prevent this? I would hate to seperate them as they are so close and feel this is not possible. Any advice would be hugely appriciated. Thankyou in advance.

miller30 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hi they would have to be vent sexed by 5 weeks otherwise you can normally tell by 8 weeks they should lay eggs by about 6 months and if you dont want babies just collect the eggs daily leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
