    How do ducks fair in the winter???

    Hi! I was just reading some posts about ducks and geese during the winter. I saw your post and I'm pretty sure it's old. I'm not very experienced with posts in forums LOL!

    Thank you so much for that post! I have always wondered how much those heat lamps cost to run vs more feed. Thank you for doing that research for me!

    I am soooooooo Confused?????????? advice please

    If your chickens dont like the shape of the pellets try adding water to make a mash. My chickens prefer their food in mash form, but they eat both. I free feed the crumble and I give them a big bowl of mash every morning. Plus fruits, veggies, bugs, etc. I'm also a city girl with pet chickens...
