I am looking into ordering a couple of ducks from Metzer farms, one of which is a saxony. Do you find that they are loud? I am in a neighborhood and need to seek more "quiet" breeds, but I am so attracted to the saxony that I was hoping to get one female!
Has anybody used this for their adult ducks? I like that it is formulated for ducks specifically, but I am confused as to why their is 20% protein for adults. "Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks" says their feed should have 15-16% protein after 7 weeks.
This is very helpful! I was leaning towards purina flock raiser. Do you think I should buy some niacin for their water before they get here, just to be safe? Or wait and keep an eye out for any signs of leg issues? I don't want to give them too much if they're already getting plenty in their feed!
Hello! We are looking to add 3 ducks to our home. I have narrowed down my breeds, but I am wondering what the best gender scenario is.
1. Obviously, with 3 females, you get eggs! :) This is not necessary for me, but a perk.
2. With females and male, you have fertilized eggs. Are these okay to be...
