Our new duck hens began to lay eggs this past Monday, September 25.

Two more Tuesday and two this morning. Different ducks as we went from one green and one white to both green today. We have 10 new hens. Our 10 older hens have given a total of 1-2 eggs a day for about two weeks. Losing 12 of our dependable layers hurt productivity. The remaining 10 old hens are laying a few more now. Weather? Molting? Stress from change of housing? We still haven’t quite figured it out. We await the first pullet eggs from our new Wyandotte hens. Stay tuned!
