I know that I'm showing off a bit, but this morning my nineteen ducks laid 15 eggs. I'm getting more and more nice coloured green eggs as my Indian runners start to lay. My Khaki Campbells have been belting out white ones in the coldest of weather all through the winter.

2 of our girls have started laying - they are quite elderly. We have 6 girls (I think). They never stand still long enough for me to count. The geese are laying beautifully and the chickens are improving their performance. They are also all a bit elderly.

Abacots laying 5/5 daily. Runners laying 5/7 daily. Bresse hen laying daily. Rescue hens an egg a week if I am lucky! Pilgrim goose laying alternate days, and my American Buff the same. My heinz 57 goose laying alternate days as well. My tufted goose, still thinking about it

Those abacots are striking birds. My Abacot marked Runners look terrific.

My white Ayelesbury cross white campbells are laying like billy-0. I sold 3 ducks and a drake as they were making too much mess, but the remaining 2 girls have been giving me an egg a day each since Nov. Too many duck eggs. Im thinking of selling a pair on.

Ours were laying well but nothing for a week now, i suspect if we went searching we'd find a nest somewhere
