moldy feed

This a Manna pro duck feed I’ve been giving my duck lately, but it seems kind off.. I don’t know, there are some black spots there after looking closely, so I’m a bit worried. It doesn’t feel weird nor does it smell bad, but was there always black dots on the feed? I don’t know. I have noticed...

Anyone have any good uses for spoiled chicken feed? Obviously they can't eat it. I opened a whole bag the other week and found it had clearly been wet and smelled moldy. Definitely didn't use any of it for the birds. I'm curious to know if there is a way I can use it for something instead of...

Disposed of a bag of moldy food in my compost pile, my spring babies got into it and ate the feed. The bag was left in wet and cold being peed on by dogs all winter, friend brought it over after they lost their ducks, but I told them it was useless after sitting like that for that amount of...

Just wanted to put this out there: Check expiration dates on feed bags. In my husband and I's excitement in getting chicks and ducklings we did not check the exp. dates until we seen a post about it later on. Our chick feed was fine, but the duckling feed we got from TSC had a date from Jan...

We just opened up new feed bag and the crumble color is a mix of light and dark. No clumps and the distribution seems even - at least at the top part of the bag. We noticed that the feed is different in color new bag vs older bag (but the age difference is only 5 weeks). Same feed, but the...

I work at a distillery and have an opportunity to get several THOUSAND pounds of corn because it got wet and is now moldy. I've read that mold is not good for chickens or anyone - I should just walk away from this shouldn't I???

Hello, My two hens are both molting--this is their first molt. A few days ago, I discovered that rain had leaked into their coop, and into their feed, and some of it was moldy. I removed all the feed and brought in new feed in a new feeder, but they don't seem to be eating much of it. They are...
