Tumbleweed Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have two aylesbury ducks which I've had from 10 days old. We're starting to get eggs - two per day and each a different colour ie one is white and one is bluish. Neither has the drake curl on the tail. The quacks are different and one is trying to mate with the other (although it prefers to grab the others neck from the side of the pool and push her down whilst wriggling on the side of the pool) So, my question is do I have a male and female or do I have two girls?? Can ducks have different coloured eggs? Also many of the white eggs are double yolked - I believe this is normal in younger birds? Will she stop laying over winter? Thanks for your help.

miller30 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi if your getting 2 eggs aday you must have 2 girls i have on the odd occasion had a duck lay 2 eggs in one day but it wouldnt happen every day dont worry about the mating bit females sometimes do that when there is no drake the eggs could be different colours if they are not proper aylesburys or they been crossed along the line somewhere and laying over the winter depends on how old they are and when they started laying my khakis lay in the winter bit my indian runners dont hope this helps leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
