    Ducks not laying

    They get ground barley, duck grower, layer diet, oyster shells, grit and whatever they can eat out of the pond/grass. Not much for bugs out yet other then flies.

    Ducks not laying

    Is there something I can do to get my ducks laying again. I get a very occasional egg from my Appleyards and my one Pekin hen lays every few days. They are all happy and healthy. Is there something I can add to their diet specifically to get a duck to lay more?

    Appleyards

    Is anyone familiar with Appleyard ducks? Can you tell me more about what they are like? What does adults sell for on average? I was at a sale the other day and they sold $80/bird, is that normal or high? Anyone breed them?
