In reply to Robin Smith. The consistency of duck's egg laying is truly wild! I miss having ducks, maybe it's time we get some more on our homestead...

I have Indian Runner ducks and they lay pretty much all year. They might miss a day or two but I have 7 layers and get a bunch of eggs pretty much all the time. I have a 10 x 12 shed attached to a 20 x 30 pen. I have tarps that let in the sun light all around it and in super cold weather they get put into the house. I do have a heater in there that keeps it to 52 degrees in the cold winter. The tarps keep the pen in the 50’s if the sun is shinning. I have heated water buckets and low dog dishes for them also. Their eggs are very good and I eat them almost every day. I haven’t bought a chicken egg in 4 years since I have had the ducks.

I get clean-er duck eggs when their water source is no where near where they lay. If I get the first egg, out of the possible 3, it’s generally clean. If the other 2 come through and stomp all over it, then it will be filthy.

We have 2 call ducks and one khaki and the khaki is laying almost every day and it’s winter now (in the 30’s and 40’s in central Ca at night). I love the eggs and use them to make sourdough discard pancakes. They are incredible. The ducks are in an extra large cage (it has a door we can walk in) and have their own pool and I am shocked they still float when it’s so cold. The call duck is laying as well but she is not consistent. They are taking turns sitting on the eggs and we feel so bad stealing them.

In reply to PAT F. Yes! Our ducks LOVE their kiddie pool. I refill it for them every morning (and empty it every night... don't want a big pool of drinking water attracting potential predators). It's one of their favorite spots.
