    What type of feed do you feed your chickens/ducks

    oh ok..yea i bought pellets one time but my ducks didnt seem to like them or maybe they were too young at the time. They are now 6 months old. I think I tried when they were 4 months, maybe that was too early for them.

    What type of feed do you feed your chickens/ducks

    Hello, What do you feed your chickens and/or ducks? Is crumbles better than pellets? How about the flock feed, to be able to save a little money so that both chickens and ducks can eat the same feed.
