    my feed room is infested with MICE!!!

    warning about chicken starter pellets

    It's also depends where you are. In Australia they still use the coccidiosis medication in some poultry starter feeds. Best thing to do is ask at the Fodder store when you buy some if it is safe for ducklings and they'll put you on the right path.

However, never ever feed it to ducks or other water fowl and make sure the feeds...

    Ducks

    The fertile eggs for the girls is my next step, although the breeding season is coming to an end here when it gets colder, if it ever gets colder, it's been one hell of a summer.
