does anyone feed FF to ducks? My week old babies gobble it up, but the 2 month olds won't touch it! -
Every time I try to see one of your videos it tells me it's private.No, I mean like this....takes just seconds to drain out enough to feed:

If you aren't currently using deep litter, it may help you with this problem. My birds will immediately wipe their beaks off after eating wet, sticky foods and they use the grass or deep litter on which to do so. Barren soil/earth would not be quite as effective as something with texture for doing this maneuver...like the difference between wiping on the wall~ or the towel~ when done washing one's hands.

Opps I guess I am doing mine wrong then. I was wondering HOW it could be getting all those good vitamins and stuff in it just over night with me the way I am going it. So I guess I better find me some more buckets! I only have 1 five gallon bucket going and I take out about 3 qts. or more at a time and then add that amount back to it twice a day. It's nice and bubbly and isn't as dark as it was when I put the dry food in there and everything. So I thought it was doing good. So to get better for them I guess I need 2 buckets going since I almost use ALL the contents out of the bucket by days end. I also don't use the ACV in mine but it's doing great so far.I am using 2 buckets also and it takes about 5-7 days too, haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with mine still looks and smells fine.
OK thanx Bee, but I would worry about it ruining with no water covering the food. ??? That's scary to me with this stuff costing so much. lol Mine are devouring the stuff but I have some that have slowed down on eating it. Although I am feeding them a nice bowl of BOSS to. I went out there awhile ago and there was not one seed left to be found out there in their run. Man speak of the run, it's wet and a mess right now with all this rain. I worry about them getting sick because they still go in it when it's sprinkling. I broke a couple vit. A's this morning and put it in their food because I could have sworn I saw one of the pullets sling out water but she and I were close to the water bowl. I was putting food in their bowls and had my back to the water so not sure it wasn't water I saw. ??? so since I wasn't sure I put some vit. A in their food this morning just in case. Also added some vit. and elect. to their water and I have 1-2 waterers out there with ACV in it. So that way they have all the stuff in their water to hopefully keep them healthy.I unlocked it...but nothing much to see!This was back when I was first doing FF and still draining off the fluid so I could feed with less slopping...but now I don't do that. I just use less fluid now and mix a thicker consistency and so no longer drain off.
I noticed some of mine didn't pig out this morning like they usually do to. It's rainy here as well but not cold but not as hot as it's been being either. They acted like they wanted something else because they kept following me around. Maybe they could taste the vit. A I added to their feed today? Some of them still pigged out but some didn't. BUT they did have a huge bowl of cucumbers and a nice size bowl of BOSS they had just polished off as well. So they may have just been full. ??Very good info, I'm thinking good ole warm oatmeal over winter may be good for them. I also use ACV in my waterers. I was noticing the ff I put out this morning didn't get gulped down like it had on other mornings, it's cold and rainy here today. I'm hoping we'll have some warm up and i'll be able to finish off my 2 buckets before real cold sets in for good.
