    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?

    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?

    Storing Hatching eggs

    If hatching eggs are suppose to be stored at 55F/12C, where should I keep them? Its winter here and too cold outside. I have no cold room. Would putting them in a cooler work? Should an ice pack be added somehow? Ideas anyone?!
