That feed might be a bit high in protein.....


I would pick the healthiest and largest male.

I have several different feeds available, 26% protein gamebird, 23% non soy non medicated organic chick starter and 18% protein layer feed with omega soy free organic non gmo... I also have a 50 lb bag of oats and calf manna and rabbit gro pellets... cracked corn is a rare treat around here, but the guy I got them from said half cracked corn half 26% feed, but my 24 dp meaties go gaga for cracked corn and picked it out of the ducks food

these are my new ducks.

Generally silkies are pretty docile that said, roosters can be roosters... that is a shame. Is he young?(the roo)

My ducks are only 9 week old, so I should switch them to the 18% protein feed? Or keep them on 26% ff?

I started to get notions of having my bf build me a sweet duck house and run, but I think the ducks will be ok.. my ayam cemani, haffies and white bresse however need a home before winter gets here.

Both my females are black, should I breed with the silver/gray or the black drake? I noticed their poop smells very different from my other animals poo, so I'm thinking I might want to move them to the side yard by the bunnies and build them a duck house with pond that I can drain to water & fertilizer my plants in my greenhouses? Add a heater to prevent it icing over?

No my 19 chicks need a coop and run to move into before winter. Agh!

Most growers can be used from about 4wks or 8wks.. i run and prefer to run most of my ducks on 18-16% i have never used higher than a 22% starter and that was only for my Pekin.
