A DUCK'S EGG PRODUCTION IS AFFECTED BY AGE:
52 weeks of lay is peak production Years 1 & 2 are productive egg-laying years In Year 3 hens will start to lay fewer eggs In Years 4-6 egg production will start to drop off
We find that egg production appears to drop 5-10% a year so each individual flock owner would have to determine the best time to replace their flock. We have also found that it normally takes about 8-9 weeks for a flock to go from approximately 2% production (2 eggs per 100 females per day) to peak egg laying at 85-95% production. This of course depends on the particular breed that is laying.
RUNNER DUCKLINGS Unsexed $11.54 each

Female $16.33 each
