Duck eating dog poo?

[fethr37]

Probably not a good thing right? Noticed one of my Buffs nibling on a pile in the yard(a pile I missed picking up).. My ducks get a good diet so not sure why they feel the need to eat dog poo

. Not something I want to think about while eating fried duck egg either but maybe it's not a big deal :dunno:

It may be a matter of what you are feeding your dogs - if it has ingredients that are passing through your dog undigested that would lead the ducks to be attracted to the piles as a source to forage through.

Shouldn't be passing through them. My dogs get fed high quality rice and lamb formula.

I would not panic, but I would find a way to stop it. I have heard that letting the ducks eat cat feces is risky.

Gross!

I don't think I'll panic,lol, but it does kinda gross me out thinking about it..You can be sure I'll be scooping every pile I can to lessen the opportunity.

Eww! That was my biggest fear with getting ducks or chickens. Mine ducklings sampled some but I chased them away and scooped it all up. I haven't had that problem again. My pekins never touched it, thank goodness.
