Goldfish?

[obsidianembrace]

I've fed my call duck, Clyde, goldfish twice now. I know he can have them, but how often is okay?

Couple times a week should be ok. Fish are a duck's natural diet, but you don't want them to expect the fish all the time. They make a great treat.

If that's Clyde in your Avatar, he sure is a Cutie!!!!

I feed my chickens live minnows. They love them!!!

alright. thanks for the info

side question: his feathers don't seem to be as white as they were when i got him *and* they look wet and watered down when he gets out of the water and they didn't used to-the drops would just sit on him. is he having problems water proofing himself?

We did that for the first time yesterday. Had DH go to the bait shop and get 2 dozen minnows. DD put them in the wading pool and the ducks just eyed them for a minute and then BAM! They figured out they was good!!

My first thought would be lacking something in his diet. Hopefull someone with experience can help you. I'm interesting in knowing.

You shouldnt feed white ducks corn...it yellows their feathers, maybe thats causing it to be less waterproof too.
