Hey everyone. For those of you who use TSC for your flock feeding needs, what do you use for your ducks and geese? For summer and winter?
We have been using a mix of rolled oats, BOSS, and corn for summer since they graze all day around the pond.
Thanks!
Has anyone had any problems with hatched chicks, ducklings, goslings, etc. not being able to walk on the QGF hatching liners?? It seems like my little ones can’t stand on it.
Hello!

Thanks!

Please help me figure out what to do!! All advice welcomed.

I have heard of Mizuri feed, Purina Game Fish chow, or game bird chow.

I’ve seen multiple posts on the topic of egg bound ducks but I haven’t been able to find out when I should intervine. If I found my Pekin this morning, not being able to walk at all, how long till I should give her a warm bath?
