Hi Rich
I have 5 ducks (3 Kharki campbells, 1 white Campbell, 1 Saxony) and 2 drakes (1 Cayuga, 1 white Campbell)

Over the past couple of weeks i have been having anything from 3 to 5 eggs aday. I write down on the calender what eggs i get from chickens and the ducks. Its around this time of year that last year i was only getting 1 maybe 2 max eggs from the ducks aday.

When you say you are only having 1 egg aday, they may both be laying in around about may but not every day.

Hi Rich

What are you feeding them on, i give mine Layer Pellets the same as the chickens, mined you the ducks eat alot more than the chickens.
