Our peppers failed this year, i mean they grew but to a size of coin and then stopped lol The chickens aren't free ranged so they never had access, the ducks only seemed to clean the garden never touching the plants of coarse it's mainly tomatoes we had an overtaking of those this year.
Your probably right, being winter an all(ok well close enough lol) they don't have much in the way of greens... i was really surprised they are more into foraging than what we give other than the staple feed.
I am not a club member but i try to get it on sale, usually about 99 cents a head.
I am not big on treats for the ducks, they are the foragers here so i don't overdo it but i have been tossing them some romaine as i am bringing it out for the chickens anyways, they suck that up like dustbusters lol
Who knew? they are mediocre on peas, and not much really gets them...
