    Duckling Feed Question??

    Awesome! They are moving through the feed and the store I get my feed from was out of the chick starter so I wanted to find out quick before I ordered more in. Do they still need the yeast added in?

    Yes, That is the only downside i can think of lol. Luckily I have a few people lined up to sell eggs to and they said theyd be fine with chicken eggs till the hens start laying again. So eventually ill get some chickens as well but theyll never replace my muscovies!

Im not sure if she just had a run of good luck on her side or what, but it was just ironic that both cakes had the duck eggs in them! She just refuses to eat them cooked by themselves. I dont see too much difference bw them and...

    Plan on it! I bought the parents as adults so I have no clue what the genes look. The first 10 ducklings 9/10 were yellow and the 10th was black. I have been told before and remember reading that they will change but i was curious to see what other thought.
