    What can I do about a duck that will only eat mealworms?

    Same problem here. I’ll try removing the worms. They’ll eat get a cafeteria tray everyday of pellets, scratch and worms. Worms are gone and the other is left uneaten.

    Hi everyone it’s been a while since I’ve been on. Today I heard a noise and notice one our chicks eating away at a piece of foam board we were using in the coop for insulation.

    Food & water at night.

    I like the mash idea. But seems they still may need a little water to get crumbles down even mixed with water. Those ducks make a grand mess even without the rubber bowl.

    Food & water at night.

    They have our backyard which is a decent size and they’re living on treats because they won’t eat the food. We’ve stepped up the treats to compensate. Tomatoes, kale, can corn, dry cat food. I also throw out scratch all over the yard.

    Things are doing ok but I noticed none of the birds ducks and silkies stopped eating their crumbles. Nothing since we lost the one pekin. Strange. I just keep dumping it out. Wasting food. Been about over 2 weeks now. Any ideas what to do?

    My wife had trouble putting her in the coop tonight. She was afraid. I’m hoping she’ll catch on.
