    Do baby ducks need Corid?

    My baby ducks play in their water all the time--how do I make sure they're actually getting the Corid? We had an outbreak of coccidiosis in our chickens and while the chicken and ducks are living separately, the baby ducks are living outside in a run (with brooderplate to keep warm, etc) so I'm...

    Grass fed chickens. Do they get only grass or is this supplemented?

    Homemade corn, wheat, and soy free layer feed

    What’s the 1% DE? I’m looking for the same formula you’re asking about but for ducks. If you’re feeding this formula to ducks that have free range of the yard to eat grass/bugs- do you still need to supplement with feed or is grass and bugs enough?
