Hi Just a few questions about my ducks. They are 5 months old and as we are heading into winter with shorter days, I am wondering if they will start to lay now or not until spring. Should I be changing their food in anticipation of them laying or wait until they start. I have 1 drake and am wondering if it will be ok for him to eat the layer food or not. They are currently on multifowl grower with 17% protein. Also what will be warmer for winter bedding pine wood shavings or straw. The duck house is insulated with ventilation. Thanks
