I don't let the ducks out of their pen until after ten in the morning. That's because 95% of ducks will have laid their eggs by then and the eggs wont get laid out in the open for the crows to get. Ducks are notorious for laying wherever they fancy and I've often found eggs by their water bucket for all to see.
There's always the exception to the rule and at the moment we have one in the shape of a White Campbell duck. For the last few weeks when I've let her out she's been like a whippet from the traps and headed straight for a cosy nest hidden in some long grass at the back of the stables. She's done it again this morning and I have this vision of her standing there with crossed legs waiting to be released. In around twenty minutes time I should be able to go and pick another egg up. Now that I know where she's laying, I always make sure to leave an egg in the nest and pick up yesterdays but leave todays in. She's a funny little duck who obviously does her pelvic floor exercises.
