Sunday morning questions for you fellow duck lovers :) Thanks in advance!
Do you make your own feed for your flock?
If so, do you add antibiotics?
Where is the best place to buy bulk ingredients?
Do you care to share your recipe?
Is fermenting duck feed necessary?
Is there a link to a plant guide for ducks or a book? I am in the process of making my veggie garden more duck friendly. I am sectioning off smaller bits for my veggies and want to plant real plants/shrubs and what not they can pick at and have some natural shade. I am making pallet tee-pees...
Yea they get lots of bugs and I throw cracked corn in spots that have higher grass. Grub worms and what not. They really liked cooked oats when they were younger but now they coyld care less. Beca they do foradge a small area I'd like to plant things they can eat safely. They will not touch my...
ive tried blue berries, strawberries. They ate the leaves off my tomato plants but not the tomatoes themselves..weird..I've tried halved cabbage right out of the garden, scratch grains..they will eat nothing but flock raiser and grubs.

I have two pekin and plan this add more. I would LOVE to know how you keep your pond so clean and how you empty/refill it when it is buried like that. Thank you!
Dead fish? Really?? LOL my husband isn't a fan either because the chickens kept getting out and tearing up the yard so now I am down to just my two pekin (Tom & Lynette) and would like to expand a little :)
Are there any duck breeders here? I have a breeding pair of pekin and would like to get my drake some new ladies of other flightless/quiet breeds.
Any sugestions?
Thank you!
Hello
This is our first go at raising duck. We have a couple of jumbo pekin, our female has just started laying (about a month ago) And our male is happily fertilizing YAY!
We are wanting to raise the babies for food purposes, are there threads of how to go about this? Raising them seemed to...
Placed an order with Metzler Farms and got my little beauties this morning!
I only wanted 2 and got some fillers to rehome. Anyone near Jacksonville,FL or Camden County GA? I'd rather place them then send them to the feed store.
I have a Jumbo Pekin & Cayuga the rest are a run of Khaki...
Thank you so much! Do you happen to recommend any hatcheries? My hens I got from a local friend and I do believe our local feed store gets the khaki campbells from time to time
I am totally new to ducks and after little convincing to my husband we want to add some to our tiny flock of hens. I have a few questions I'm hoping I can have answered here. Thanks! You all are great!
1. What is the best breed of duck to raise for eggs (to eat) & are friendly? I have a 3yr...
We've adopted a full blooded Mini Holland Lop. She is FREAKING cute!
She is 4wks and we can only assume mama was ready to wean them as she is eating well on her own, drinking and everything really well.
I would like to keep her on an organic food as she grows older as the rest of our house...
