Thanks, yes I’ll buy them some oyster shells so it’ll hopefully harden up there egg shells so there’re less likely to crack them .👍

Just looks like egg yolk to me not sure what you think? Thanks

I might need to get them some oyster shells it’s just bit unusual that they went from laying every day to not laying in over 3 weeks just a bit strange.? Do they usually take long breaks ?

Hi my ducks Aylesbury ducks haven’t laid in over 3 weeks and this morning noticed one had yellow/orange colour over there feathers so I presume it’s egg yolk is there any way of stopping them eating there eggs? Thanks

Hi my 10 month old Aylesbury ducks haven’t laid any eggs in over 2 weeks and I’m starting think they might possibly be eating their own eggs is this a common thing? They have plenty of food and grass and straw in the coop so I don’t why they would but I’ve seen them pecking at there eggs when...

Hi my Aylesbury ducks are 12 weeks old now and none of them have curls in their feathers. Im pretty sure that 3 of them are drakes by their raspy voices but not 100% as they look the exact same as the females and have no curls in their feathers. Is this normal for drakes to not have curls? Thanks

Hi , my Aylesbury ducks are 10 weeks old now and the drakes haven’t got any curls in their tail feather yet? What age should you see them by? I’m pretty sure they’re drakes by their voices but not entirely sure? Thanks
