My advice is just take a deep breath and relax if getting it done via vaginal ultrasound. Sorry if this TMI for any of you, but imagine the vaginal wand as if it were like your significant other putting himself in you.
The runner duck, the Cayuga, the blue Swedish and the buff duck are among the top layer ducks, averaging up to 180 eggs per year. Poor egg layers such as the mallard may lay as few as 60 eggs a year. Some specialized varieties such as the white layer duck can produce nearly 300 eggs a year.
They lay their eggs in batches of about 20; the first few eggs of the first batch will be small and they should not be set for incubation. Ducks usually begin laying at about 6â7 months of age and should be laying at a rate of about 90% (i.e. 100 ducks laying 90 eggs daily) within 5 weeks of the onset of laying. English breeds normally maintain more than 50% production for about 5 months.
