    ISO organic duck feed

    Hmmm ok, I use Nutrena for my chickens. But have never seen a duck food from them just the "all flock". I have 2 mos old ducklings with my adults so was trying to stick with a higher protein duck feed, at least for the moment. I appreciate your help! I will look more at the nutrena brand

    ISO organic duck feed

    Essentially yeah, just corn free feed, true, I hadn't thought about meal worms eating corn 😅 she just stated for dietary reasons she can't consume eggs from birds fed corn. I'm not sure how the corn effects the eggs too much 🤔

    ISO organic duck feed

    Hello! I recently had a client tell me she can no longer purchase duck eggs from me if they eat a feed with corn. So I'm curious what options there are for feeds without corn, but im also on a budget. Currently feeding the Dumor Duck food. I have 2 drakes and 8 hens. They do well on the...

    Please, show me your ducks

    Male Rouens will have green heads like a mallard. Females will not, but they will have purple/green on their wings. Rouens of both genders look the most similar (in my opinion) to wild mallards just twice the size.

    Can my Baby ducks eat this?

    I forgot to mention crumbling it! With this round of ducklings I slightly soaked the feed (dumor duck food) so it was kind of like mush, that worked great for the first week or so.

    Can my Baby ducks eat this?

    I have used that feed before for ducklings and it's worked fine. The back of the bag should have a chart showing what ages the food is appropriate for. You could supplement with some nutritional yeast or brewers yeast for leg development.

    Mites...is it possible

    I'm not a DE fan, so no worries there. I'm careful with the lime but do know that can help mitigate but not totally eradicate either. I agree, natural products can be just as harmful in some cases, or prolong issues because they don't actually treat the issue. I've seen it many times in the...

    Mites...is it possible

    We have a ton of wildlife and birds in our area. Run is open air and too large to enclose completely, sadly. I will avoid the boxes for sure. Thanks! 😊

    Mites...is it possible

    Hmm maybe the picture isn't a good representation, but they are definitely mites. Is there another natural product that will work better? I've seen a lot of positive reviews with that product. Thanks!

    Mites...is it possible

    Hello BYC! Ok age old question regarding Mites....when we bought this property in June the existing coop looked like it hadn't been cleaned, well... ever! It was in my opinion more burn worthy then salvage worthy. none the less, I cleaned out all the old bedding, ripped out all the interior...

    Please, show me your ducks

    For example : in France, our Fawn and White Indian Runners are white and brown, with a black head and a black rump on the drake... I think you call this colour Emory Penciled...? But... so, when I first searched for Fawn and White Runners in English, I was surprised to find much lighter...
