Got my first duck egg of the season today…yippee!
And 3 quail eggs. With supplemental light, they’ve laid clear through the winter. I’m incubating 30 eggs in hopes of increasing my quail hens for more eggs. The ducks aren’t always reliable.
Thank you! One thing that has always perplexed me since I got these girls a couple years ago….I have ALWAYS provided crushed oyster shells for them. I have NEVER ONCE seen them eating them or even going anywhere near them. I even change them out on occasion. They are in a separate bowl right...
They are both about 2 years old. The mid January laying is what is most confusing. The Muscovy did that last year also, but she laid for several weeks before going on strike again. This January was only 1 week.
I have two ducks, a pekin and a muscovy. They stopped laying clear back in late September. Then mid January, the muscovy gave me 5 eggs (which all froze solid during the -20 temps). Then she stopped and I haven’t gotten any since then.
Is this normal? I am really missing my eggs. I don’t...
