I have three appleyard ducks bought from smallholders show at Ardingley. At roughly what age do i have to start looking for eggs? They are garden range and it is full of shrubs etc!

From what I have read (which is not extensive) I think it is at about 8 months. I have appleyard eggs in an incubator at the moment - don't know if they'll hatch though.

hope they hatch for you, these are nice pets, they are just getting the first if the green on the drake and some whitish knickers to. Had other ducks in the past but these are friendliest. I suspect next Christmas will see an incubator on the presents list! The tropical fish tank is nearly empty, it could go there, anyone want to swap Cool
