chickens really has valid points. miss lydia has valid points. we all have opinions and they are all worthy of merit. There is a common thread here...we all love our birds and want to do the very best for them. I realize this may be a somewhat long post, but this is important to me and I...

Well, the Scotchman in me says, 'Why deny the wee fellows their pint e'r now an then', but ever since I listened to y'all they scream for more when I put some mash in water and just let them muddle in it.:drool:drool:drool And it is so much easier!:wee So hats off... i'm a southern boy so I...

My son was easier to raise.:barnie

Thank you. I will give it a try again. I really like the idea and science behind ff. I'll start a batch today and see how it goes.

Congratulations! Seeing how they like veggies I think they will hammer sprouts. I just found out that cherry tomatoes are duck crack.:wee I think I have a bunch of tomato addicts now... Things I have learned in last 36 hours. 1. Fermented feed tastes like fishy oatmeal porridge. My ducks...

> Pyxis: I felt you made a valid point and wanted to highlight it and further warn people. While also trying to continue the conversation by offering support for my opinion. Again, I am not offended, My apologies if it was incorrectly stated.

That is so awesome! I am getting my first ducks in two days and I cant be more excited. I have been working on their home for a little while and that is a really cool idea and way easier than the pumps and stuff I am using. I may have to rethink the design as I do have some time before they...
