Hi. new to this game so here goes the silly question:~ how long from removing my duck's from all the boy's and leaving one boy with them until i can be sure any eggs laid are fertilized by him.

It's three weeks with chickens - think it'll be about the same with ducks.
Ok, just did some checking, something else reckoned 2-3 weeks too.

Chickens and ducks are the same and there sperm is active for 10 days only so 12 days should be enough for you hope this helps

I have done it on ten before and i was ok !
Well i have cut back and i still have to many !!!! Oh well just as well i love them !!
