They free roam during the day (with the option to get into house) and then at night they are in an enclosed area and then locked in their duck house at night. I'm so devastated, I always lock them into enclosed area when it's light around 5pm.

One of my ducks has been eaten by a fox (I assume as one is missing) I feel so guilty and horrible even though I've done everything I could to prevent it happening. I'm worried about the remaining duck, I'm going to get another female asap so she's not alone but I just want some reassurance that...

Sorry should have explained, there is oyster shell mixed with grit if that makes sense

Hi guys I was just wondering how I should be feeding my ducks grit e.g. free choice and also in what quantity. They do you have access to the ground/dirt in their enclosure but are not free range completely yet as I've had them less than a week. I have two khaki campbell layers and I bought an...

I've found that mine don't eat a great deal either! So good to know it's not just mine :)

Thank you! Will give them all food in the morning for them to eat throughout the day! They seem to enjoy kale so will try that!

Okay will give them all their food in the morning because at the moment I had been giving them morning and afternoon feed.

Hi guys! My new ducks still aren't eating out of trough, what do you use to feed your ducks? I'm worried it may be a little too deep for them. I've inserted picture of what I use. Also how much should I be feeding 2 adult females? At the moment I'm giving them 340g a day but they aren't eating...

Hi Thanks for your message. If they won't eat from the bowl should I just leave them to figure it out? Okay will keep food and water outside of their coop from now on. I have given them kale today which they seemed to enjoy. I will keep trying to get them to feed out of bowl and hope they settle...

Have tried giving them kale which they loved. Havent provided grit to them yet as they are on grass/dirt during the day.

Think that is where it's harder for mine to settle as they are older. I have them outside in pen during the day and inside hutch at night even within secure perimeter just to be on the safe side. They have access to pool during the day, at night they have access to bowl of water and at the...

That is good idea I will contact them tomorrow I purchased the food from the farm so hopefully it is the same but I will check.

I will persevere with the bowl and hope they figure it out soon!

Yes mine are very nervous! I just worry they aren't going to eat as they haven't yet eaten when the food has been left in the bucket but guess they would if they were hungry. How much do you feed yours? Also what is your housing set up for them? Just want to make sure I'm doing everything as...
