Duck eggs are a little richer than duck eggs. They are definitely bugger :D

QA, how old are your ducks and what breed?

I have a quad of Welsh Harlequin, and they are 1 year old. My drake and 2 of my Ducks came from Becca, and she was getting eggs. They laid 3 eggs after getting here - and stopped.

my 2 year old rouen hen is laying an egg a day, taking 1 day off a week.

My oldest Muscovy's are 2 years old (male and female) and she was laying, but not now. the other two, Dash Jr. is a duckling from ofg's hatch last year and Miss Priss is about 1 or so. Dash Jr. is hatching a clutch as I type this, and miss Priss has 10 babies.

So I just want to know - what's wrong with my Welsh??? or could they have hidden nests, since they are free ranging???

Yup, Quail, I'll bet the same. :lol:

My sweet, wonderful Rouen "Mrs. Duck" lays an egg every single day since she started laying last December. :love

I usually hard boil her eggs along with some of the chicken's. They taste the same, just bigger. :D

If I ever make anything "dessert" (which is rare, unfortunately) I use her eggs.

Those are some cute ducklings!!!!!
