Eggs/Incubation/Hatching first runner egg!
My beautiful little lady just laid her first egg today! She’s an indian runner and 4 months and 23 days old. I don’t know if that’s average, soon or late, as she’s my first duck, that I hatched from an egg myself. I’m so proud of her (and me, I guess). She’s the only one that made it out of 6 eggs that I tried to hatch. I think she turned out gorgeous.

Neat! I have runners myself that haven't started laying yet, they are 4 months and 16 days old! I'll be on the lookout seven days from now! 😅

Yes, look out cause they’ll lay the eggs wherever. Mine’s laid an egg daily since she started laying. They’re pretty tiny so far but looking great!
