Anyone have any welsh harlequins from meter farms that stared laying? If so how old were they? Thanks!

I'm assuming you meant METZER farms?

Domestic mallard-derived ducks (harlequins, campbells, runners, etc.--all domestic breeds except muscovies are mallard-derived) will generally start laying between four and five months. Some will wait until the following Spring if they happen to mature in the Fall. The egg-laying breeds will tend to go ahead and start laying. I've heard great things about harlequins and I hope you enjoy them!
