I ration my chickens because my chickens are horrible spoiled little things and always find away to dumb most feeders so its forced me to ration most of the time but ive never tried it with my ducks. I just think my ducks could be a little more plump. They aren't skinny but they arent like the chickens who are probably border line over weight

I think I'm going to try free choice food and see how it goes.... how do you guys do free choice food? I'm trying to say what do you use (feeders, ect.) and how do you have it set up?

Depending on how many ducks u have i recommend i cup of food per duck a day but make sure if u have a runt that they all get equally the same amount of food

Right now the feeder is full. So, they have 24/7 food.

Do the ducks come in on their own at night, similar to chickens?

No, they don't .....Might go back to the run on their own but Ducks don't sleep all night like a Chicken....

Thanks....how old do they have to be before you figure out if they're male or female? Mine are approx 8-9 weeks old and are huge already (Pekin). I'm looking for the drake feather but they all appear to have a flipped up tail just not real curly. If thats the case I have 10 males!!!
