Ducks get to about their mature size and with feathers at 8 weeks, but they aren't emotionally mature for a long time after that. It takes them several months for their sex hormones to mature, and at that time they are emotionally adolescents.
usually runner ducks start laying eggs at about 6 months old so good luck with your ducks!!:-)
I do not know at this moment, but I shall go to another website to find out.
A female is capable of laying eggs at 6 months old. males are capable of fertilizing eggs anywhere between 6-9 months.
at least 3 months for a mallard duck to lay eggs.thank you
A mallard duck can live up to 20 years
i would say about 5 to 6 months
Cut it's head off and count the rings.
6-9 months old
according to my study of mallard ducks this is impossible because mallard ducks are all BOYS! By ID1281088566 Ignore ID1281088566, he doesn't know what he's talking about. One of my mallard hens started laying at about 6 months old, in October. They usually don't lay until spring, and I'm sure this hen won't actually hatch a brood until then.
I'm not a doctor but if i were you I'd take him to one.
Mallard ducks are available from most hatcheries. They are inexpensive, easy to breed and quite popular pets. You will need a male an female duck to breed, ad each duck needs to be at least two years old.
It depends on the breed of duck but, I think it's around 15-25 years. The oldest duck is around 27 years I think.
Depending on the breed, they start laying around when they turn a year old.
I have pekins and they are on day 27- nointernal pip yet. Have yours pipped? Anyways, I woul hang on to them for awhile, that's what I am doing. If you get any goodf answers, perhaps you could post a few on my Q. Good luck!
Thousand-Year-Old Eggs
You cannot tell a gender of a mallard duck when they are ducklings. When they enter their "teenage" years, they start getting markings. Male's head's start getting dark and they get colorful feathers on their tail. Females don't change much they get a blue stripe on their wings. See Related links to see what a male mallard looks like.
Duck eggs, which are then named "Thousand-Year-Old Eggs".
i have ducks around that age and they lay eggs in February
