We are planning to install a pond in that area sometime soon, so I expect that'll do the trick.

Well that's good to know. He has been a pretty calm guy so far. He was supposed to be a female Welsh Harlequin but I'm glad he isn't :D

Also, along the lines of ducks getting ready to lay, some of my females are mounting each other in the pool and doing some weird head bobbing with each other. But my drake seems clueless and just stands there without any interest in any of them. Is it common for males to mature later than females?

I wish my flock was better at foraging! Maybe I should cut back on their bagged feed and walk them out farther every day. They do have a nice pasture area in their yard to eat from, they just don't go out there.

Wow, what a difference! I love it when animals are given a real life and then give you the proof of how much better it is :D

I'm not sure if mine will have a problem with it, because they like to glean the chickens layer feed off the ground when the chickens are done and even seem to prefer it to their own.

They have access to about a 1/2 acre yard and part of it has thick grass, but they aren't very good foragers. They never go into the grassy part and spend most of their time sleeping in the shade. When they're hungry, they hang around the gate until feeding time :rolleyes:.

I'm curious if anyone has any supplements that they have had good success with for laying ducks? To boost egg production, help with bright yolks, or just general layer health. I think a few of my ducks are getting close to laying and I'll be switching them to a layer feed soon.
