    Oyster grit / Flint grit ( soluble insoluble)

    Interesting. And can you shed any light on if a duck etc would know if they are low on stones in the gizzard? Perhaps their body recognises they've eaten but its not getting broken down so this sets off a signal into their brain to eat grit. It's all very interesting I enjoying learning the more...

    Oyster grit / Flint grit ( soluble insoluble)

    I'm wondering do ducks have the brain power to know the difference in what they are eating. I don't have ducks yet still building my duck House. But I have many questions most I can answer through Google and the many books I've got. But I'm wondering if I supply both oyster shell and Flint grit...

    Best bedding

    To explain the picture if anyone wonders. The part on the right is going to be the coop. Floor has running supports from left to right to support human weight etc. It will be boarded out and on the left is going to be the run which measures 2m x 2m

    Having second thoughts on pekin ducks

    Looking at getting 3 pekin ducks in our home garden but finding conflicting infomation on how loud these actually are. Don't particularly like Muscovy ducks (please don't judge) 🤷‍♂️ surely 3 peking won't make a tremendous amount of notice??? Would cambel be a better alternative do you think or...

    Cheap incubater question please

    I was thinking they wouldn't be in the garden for a whole load of time I don't know how long it would take for them to go quackers around the garden. More then happy to fence a portion of garden off for them though to make into their own mud pit 😉

    How many ducks in my coop

    I'm going to build a duck House like this if I build it 6ft wide by 10ft in length what would be a nice number of peking ducks to keep. Could you also advise on the length of coop and the length of run on the side please for the ducks Ducks will also have access to garden but not all of the...

    Cheap incubater question please

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233560013675 I know these probably are not ideal but would they be OK just to increase my flock. I'll be getting 6 ducklings soon and I'm wondering if when I work out the drakes from the ducks I'll be able to use one of these incubators to incubate their eggs. I'm...

    Feeding wheat thirds / feeding mixed cereal flakes

    Thank you to you both. I had a feeling it should be fine after researching what is actually in purchased duck food. I'm very much a novice so thought I'd double make sure 👍
