Singleton Shire Council will consider an application by Sydney man Ray Shepherd for the farm that would focus on fertile egg production on a 188 hectare property at Howes Valley.

An environmental impact statement for the proposal is on the council's website with submissions closing on Monday.

Planner for Mr Shepherd Lorelle Fitzpatrick from the Central Coast said the farm would be used as a fertile egg production centre for Pepe's ducks. The eggs would be collected at the farm and taken to Pepe's hatcheries at Windsor.

"The application is supported by various environmental and technical reports which, all combined, have concluded that the farm will have no impact on the environment," Ms Fitzpatrick said.

"There seems to be some opposition to the proposal but the operator has offered to meet with anyone who has any concerns and go over the operation of the farm and how it works.

"The application has been lodged with necessary reports and is open to public scrutiny," Ms Fitzpatrick said.

While a total of 12 sheds will be built on the farm, seven will house 12,453 birds.

The total cost of the development is $625,000.

The initial stocking of the proposed duck farm will involve one shed being filled every four weeks for 28 weeks.

When the ducklings arrive on site they are put in what is referred to as a brooding shed, which includes heat lamps. After two weeks the ducklings are put into a "pre layer" shed from two weeks of age to 28 weeks when then can begin laying.

The ducks are then moved to the layer sheds. The layer sheds include nest boxes and fresh shavings/litter material.

The ducks lay for 12 months, from the age of 28 weeks.
