We have a Swedish blue duck and a Pekin duck, they are both four months old and i'm having trouble telling what sex they are. I think one of them might have curly tail feathers, but it's really hard because i've never had to check this before.
P.s. I tried to attach files but it keeps erroring...
But it says online that ducks can have electrolyte drinks? I was told by this guy on Facebook that he gives his ducks and chickens electrolyte drinks all the time. I am confused.
(Also I currently use duck feed that I get online, but I also heavily prefer to make my own feeds for my animals...
I compiled it myself, I posted it to get advice on how may I improve on it?
I'm used to making my own rat food as well but I have been keeping rats way longer and know their needs inside and out. I'm still learning with ducks.
I read that not only is it good to supplement their food with herbs but also that lavender helps soothe ducks and keep them calm. The propel has electrolytes, vitamin c vitamin E and vitamin B5 and vitamin B3(niacinide) in it
Can I get some critiques on this duck food recipe? I'm trying to make a completely homemade duck food, and I need advice on whether or not this is going to have all of the nutrients they need or not. This recipe is meant to be refrigerated after it's all put together.
Oats
Corn
Peas
Sunflower...
My rooster is named Bob Ross he is a Polish+Silkie mix. He is gorgeous. He is 8 months old.
We also have a sex link hen named Scarlet. Scarlet is 4 months old.
I'm open to offers.
I think my ducklings are somewhere between one week old and 2 weeks old but I'm not sure. I'm also not really sure how to accurately tell what gender they are.
I have a black silkie hen that I JUST checked and she also has extra toes so yeah, I should have known. Sorry! I checked my silkie rooster and he doesn't have extra toes so he might not be a Silkie after all...
