Duckworth
Songster
I live in the Central Plains and our winters usually include many weeks of subfreezing weather, without a thaw. I have a 50-60 foot pin oak tree in my yard that drops a LOT of leaves this time of year. I thought I read somewhere that fallen oak leaves are useful as bedding for ducks. I'm using a deep litter method in both pen and run and am wondering whether the leaves, with or without straw and pine shavings, would help my ducks stay warm and possibly provide more composting warmth than just straw and/or pine shavings?
Any advice?
