G'day all
I have been raising poultry of one type or another for over a decade. Mainly just backyard stuff as I've mostly lived on smallish town blocks. I particularly like raising egg laying ducks like Khaki Campbells but currently have a few bantam chickens.
I am particularly interested and...
Hey all,
First off the ducklings are all doing great! The ones in the pen are LOVING the grass and area to run around in. The other little ones are eating like crazy and growing so fast!
Now to my question: When do I need to convert the big guys to a different feed?

Can ducks eat this? If so, what is the purpose? There are sunflower seeds in it, is that safe for ducks? I'm looking for something new to expand my duck's diet to give them something different along with their usual crumble feed! :) thanks...

I have a few questions I was hoping for help with. Just purchased my first ducks (1 Cayuga drake 2 Cayuga hens). They are already a couple years old. I purchased Poultry Layer Feed since I am getting 1 to 2 eggs a night.
1. Will this be all the Calcium I need or should I still be supplementing...
Hi everyone :)
