Jpat has a good thought. Corn doesn’t provide enough nutrition, especially for a flock of ducks your size. Tractor Supply sells up to 50 lb bags of poultry feed for under $16.
The ducks needed a little holiday cheer so... I made them an edible lettuce Christmas tree with a squash star and tomato ornaments. From my family to yours, Merry Quackmas! ❤️
Hi @sierraforest! We quickly learned that no store bought filter/pump setup could manage the duck poop. We built a bio filter using a plastic stock tank from tractor supply, an ungodly amount of sponges, aerobic bacteria starter and a mega pump! It’s been amazing and works like a charm. Happy...
Hi @anndye92 ! It’s about 3.75’ in the center and has shelves. We have a bio filter now, so we don’t change the water fully ever. We do partial water changes maybe every two months. :)
Hi everyone! You can call me Chris (short for Christin... pronounced “Kristen”). Yeah, there’s no ‘e’. Finding my name on a rice necklace or keychain at the beach shops never happened. :lau
Buy fish-flavored friskies wet cat food and a box trap from Amazon. Take a paper towel and smear some of the cat food on all of the metal of the trap (once it’s outside, of course!) and then set it with the cat food at the back. You’ll catch a fox! Hugs!
Oh my gosh. Poor thing. :( Foxes are terrible for our feathered friends. Sending love and well-wishes for your duck.
As a side note: cat food and a box trap helped us catch one of our predators:
