Teach me about ducks

[Bryce Thomas]

I have raised chickens for about 2 years now, and have loved every step of it. Now I want to consider expanding my flock, by adding ducks. preferably bantams! There are some things I already know about ducks like they need water to be in, but that's about it. Any info on duck care and how their nutritional needs are? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Ducks can eat the same food as your flock. There only seperate requirements would be a place to sleep shielded from wind where they can't get pooped on from roosting chicken's and a source of water, just enough for their beaks to get in. They don't need to be in water, although they do love it If they don't have water, stuff can build up around their nostrils and such. They need fresh water daily, not a while pool full, but enough to drink from
