I dont give them 12% treats... not sure how that got miscommunicated. I said I give them feed with 12% protein and treats with 8% protein in their treats since 15% is what Im seeing is recommended. Im not a total moron. Idk any decent person who would feed any animal or person that way. I sure dont know where you got that all I give them is treats and let them forage when my comment clearly states "their feed is 12%" and "their treats are 8%". I feel like Im on fb and some one just wants to argue and totally ignore what I've actually said. I could be wrong but I feel as tho I am being put down. Like Im some idiot when facts are presented and TOTALLY misconstrued back to me. Thanks for trying tho. At this point I think Im just going to let them eat feathers along with their FEED treats and foraging in the yard and just keep looking for articles that might give more info instead of asking for help from experienced people when they come at me with nonsense like that. Good dayI've seen my ducks and chickens pick up a small feather and eat it. I guess if it's laying on the ground it's fair game. lol
Your ducks need a well-balanced feed like an All flock or duck pellets. treats and foraging isn't well balanced. I believe Purina Flock raiser has 20% protein and It has never been a problem here along with foraging. There are other brands of all flock too. But just feeding them 12% treats along with foraging is like giving kids candy and a vitamin and thinking that is all they need. If you want healthy ducks and good layers too then switch them to a balanced diet.
