Do ducks every get full?

[tonycarbs]

My Pekings never seem to get full. I think they'd eat till they died.

Am I not feeding them enough or are they just like that?

to answer your question:

NO! lol, they are always hungry, even after you just fed them. mine like to beg and whine for food, esp when people are over, and embarrass me like i never feed them... i give them food all day long... lol. they are just moo cows. (I always ask my ducks, "So are you guys ducks? cause you look like pigs to me!")

the good thing is, when they don't want to eat, it's usually a good indicator that something is wrong.

Good!

I've had ducks for a few years now and have never thought to ask other duck owners about this.

I guess they are just more annoying now since I have so many now.

More than one person has called ducks
'pigs with feathers'.

Saw the question and immediately thought NO

They act like they are starving, I swear they even eat in their sleep

Thats funny my calls do get full i give them a scoop of feed in the morning and it last all day sometimes 2 days if i fill the scoop full.
They eat on and off all day on what they are fed and they have never acted like little pigs.
I guess calls are different from big ducks as far as appetite go's

You know, I don't have ducks, but I always watch ducks wherever I see them, because I just think they are so cute and funny, and they ARE eating the entire time!!! I never even thought about it, but they are crunching and munching whatever and wherever they wander . . .isn't that funny!!! Poor starving little ducks!!! That was funny . . .acting like you starve them in front of company!!!

My campbells always seem to get full really easily, they'd rather be out foraging fing their own food

I have noticed that my campbells are the same way. Every morning when I put feed out they take a few bites but then are off foraging leaving the rest to the muscovys. They Muscovys however would eat until they popped if I let them
