Hello all my duck i was told was an acona duck I was told it's female well I got her at tractor supply chick days last year in February but she has yet to lay any eggs what can cause the duck not to lay any eggs I also have a male duck of unknown breed lol got him from someone who was just getting rid of him cuz he tried to make with his chickens sooo yeah there's that any help on wjy she hasn't laid any eggs yet
 
Aside from drakes being.... Especially hormonal to put it politely, mounting can also be a dominance behavior. If you post some pictures someone could tell you whether you have a drake or a hen
Oh lol ok let me see if I have pics of bumble bee if not I'll have to take pics when I get home

Looks like a hen to me (no curly tail feathers) but admittedly I am far better better at sexing chickens than ducks

She could be a slow maturing hen and might start up in spring, or it's possible that she has some kind of reproductive issue and may never lay. In any case, there really isn't anything you can do except keep waiting
