Granty Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 When should a runner duck start to lay? I have 2 ducks that are 18 weeks old, 1 (or both) of them has (have) started to lay. Is this early? The eggs are the same size as a bantams egg? Thanks, Granty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Pets Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have found out that the start to lay at 19 to 20 weeks of age so your ducks have good time to lay. Ducks eggs tast very nice but the have a very hard shell so it is hard to crack! I dont have ducks myself so i bought them from sainsburys. the also smell more then hens eggs when you cook them. the yolks are very orange in colour as well. hope i helped Love Pets.

miller30 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi Granty mine were about 20 weeks old when they started to lay so yours are only a couple of weeks younger i wouldnt worry they may be a bit all over the place to begin with leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
