44 DUCK DOLLARS 
Where They Lay Their Eggs 
This house is heated by hot water so that the eggs will not be frozen on 
cold winter nights. The pens have a dirt (not board) floor and shavings are put 
down for bedding. The partitions between the pens are not made of wire but of 
boards, so that the pens will not be drafty. The ducks lay at night. Some try to 
hide their eggs in the shavings, but they are easily found, and the same ducks will 
try to hide them in the same places the following night. Let the birds outdoors 
at eight o'clock in the morning and then go from pen to pen and gather the eggs 
in a basket,
