ducks laying eggs

[CarolynEarley]

Our ducks are now 21 weeks old and are happy and healthy. We thought that they would be laying eggs by now, but none have started. Should they be laying at this age or are we a bit premature in expecting them? If they should be laying by now is there anything we can do to encourage them, or might there be something we are doing that is discouraging them?

Hi, again, too young at the moment but should come into lay soon What breed are they?
regards, David

Very good question Davidd - who knows!!!! We are in Crete and the farmer we bought them from just about understood that we wanted 6 ducks and that we wanted mostly females as we don't speak Greek and he has very little English. They are white with yellow beaks and look like the pictures I have seen of Pekin's, but I would not put money on it! :lol:
