    Ducks not laying

    Our two ducks were laying everyday until it got cold. I thought they layed right through the cold. Could they be hiding their eggs? I have looked everywhere and have not found any outside of their cubby.

    We have two ducks among our chickens. While the chickens have a place above the ducks, how should we winterize the ducks coop?

    Feeding

    I have adopted a wandering Buff Brahma. She free ranges. She is our only chicken. Do chickens get enough food free ranging? We have bought laying pellets, oyster shell, grit, and crushed pellets. She doesn't eat those since she is free ranging. What next? We also give her bananas, tomatoes which...
