Do’s and Don’ts of Using Duck Poop as Fertilizer/Compost

[randallt1]

Hi ya'll, Gladys is fine and just had her 9th birthday on Easter! She wouldn't still be here without the help received here after she became ill last spring.

About compost. I use pine shavings and change her house weekly and put into the compost pile. I also keep a separate pile off to the side, mix occasionally and then use for mulch around trees and plants. The pH mix between the poop and the pine seem to balance nicely.

BTW, here she is from last week. She is so happy it's spring.

My dog digs big hole in the yard. I have ducks so can I put the srtaw from the pen into the holes and what should I add to make it into mulch?

I use pine shavings and when I clean out my coops I put the spent shavings out in the holes in the yard my chickens dig and just let it decompose it makes the nicest mulch and dirt for planting.
