Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[peachncrm37]

Do your calls eat the mealworms? I only tried it twice, but mine didn't seem to eat the soldier fly worms. I mix them with their bowl of veggies and the worms would still be left in the tray

OMG yes they do. It's like crack to the babies. I wait until they are about a week old and then I feed them some. The adults only get them every once in a while, and it took them a whole to get used to them.

I had guppies for 5 years or so. If you have alot of plastic plants in there, that the adults have a hard time getting into, the babies won't get eaten. Get mostly females and 3 or 4 males.

I had to give 500 guppies away twice a year. They breed even faster in a horse trough. In that large of an area there is no need for the plants, or even fish food. They eat bugs that fly in.

Good idea. I think I will get more guppies. If you heat the water you can keep them outdoors all year long. Ducks love guppies!

I think I am getting a real problem here! Not only I more determined to hatch those ducks, Now I am going to build a pen and raise Orphingtons! All my banti eggs are are going in my new inkie to! I am going to have to convert  the side pasture into another aviary. OMG I have the disease full on now. Some enabler taught me to hatch these things, after I had some success, and then a big failure, I am much more determined than before.

I think I am going to have to find some kind of support group.  

LET THE DISEASE FLOW THREW YOUR BODY, DONT FIGHT IT, IT WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORST!! Lol

Me too on the mealworms. Got about 100 Beatles

Let me know how the guppy "farm" goes! That's a good idea. I think I faintly remember doing that as a child, but the adults kept eating the babies? Or maybe that was my Molly's....hmmm. Lol

I have two meal worm farms going OMG, there's sooooooo many. I only give them to the baby chicks funny to see them play tight a war with them.. Lol. The ducks OMG, they sure can eat quite a few in one sitting,.

Guppies give live birth so after birth the babies can be separated from the adults or kept in a baby net until they're a little bigger.

I keep all mine together, they don't eat the babies as long as you feed them with apples, carrots, potatoes ect....



HAHAHAHA wait are you talking about guppies as in fish?? OMG I thought you guys were talking about meal worms hahahahaha.

See I have lost my mind since sassy and rumpy is gone..

I used to have guppies and Molly's kind of fun watch them swim around and then poop, out they come, lol I tried to breed the fighting fish, got them to make the nest, and she put the eggs in it but they never did hatch..

LOL. We were talking about both. Glad to know that they'll eat the mealworms. Will have to try it out.

I still can't believe both Sassy and Rumpy are gone. So much to take in at 1 time
