My lovely Khaki Campbell who laid an egg a day from a very early age decided to take a break this winter (laid right through last year). We were getting quite worried about her to be honest as she had not laid an egg since about November but yesterday guess what!? A lovely fresh white egg in her house!
I have no idea what triggered her off into laying again (male duck mating her maybe?) but I don't care as it means she is happy and healthy!

Well done (to the duck). Our hens take a winter break and the longer days in the spring set them off laying again. Not sure with ducks but it's probably the same reason.

For a bit of a moment there I thought the pony had laid an egg! Congratulations

Now that would be worth more than a post on here Nettie! A call to the national papers more like!
I think it was just a 'winter break' she had but I was getting worried that the break was a getting to be rather long!

My neighbour keeps Indian Runners. No one in his family enjoy duck eggs, so I get at least six a week from him!!...I then give them away to my friends. He doesn't know that.
