Duck smell

[70%cocoa]

To keep feed dry I give it in a dish that in under cover and not too close to their water sources. I keep mine about 2 yards away from the water and it's fine. I keep it in the duck house, just inside the door. The food gets taken away at night when they get shut in.

I am feeding mine pellets - Will a large dog bowl be ok to put them in? The feeders like the ones you use for hens looks too small for them to bills in.

yeah just give them enough they can eat in one day

Just trying to work that out. - I feed them when I get up in the morning and they are hungry - but they dont finish all of it. Do I feed them more later or is that it for the day? They free range during the day, but I dont have grass.

i would get them a little when you let them out and a little when you put them up so they will forage better
