Hot pepper and ducks

[needlessjunk]

just goes to show you digs don't care if it burns the inside of their mouths or not if it's edible they will eat it. :/

I just added cayenne powder to it as well, very liberally, to no effect. I'm not going to let my ducks eat it but at some point my dogs will give up, right? Pepper spray? Man that stuff burns my skin and is terrible in the mouth and eyes... I'm kidding

Probably wouldn't even bother them

It is safe for ducks, but beware that it may not work for dogs or goats. It all depends on the critter itself. We had a female dog that had a HUGE issue with coprophagia...disgusting habit. We tried everything and every food additive known to mankind, I think. We also intentionally left piles laying around and doused (and I do mean COVERED) them with mustard, hot pepper seeds, whole jalapeno's, hot sauce and even meat tenderizer (hey! when you have a dog that likes to lick faces, you will try ANYTHING!). Nothing mattered. She didn't care in the least. So, while those tricks may have worked for some, they don't work for all animals. You are better off figuring out a way to just keep the goats out of it, I think. Good luck! We have given up trying to keep the cat and dog out of it in the winter (when we give them food outside the pen because...ummmm...it's hard to forage in a foot of snow

) and just figure it's an additional part of the food bill. LOL

Before I spend a ton of time trying to find this online, I thought I would come here and see if anybody knows anything about this. I read one time that you can use hot pepper or peppers in birdseed to keep the squirrels away. Apparently the birds cannot taste it and it does not hurt them. Does anyone know if this is the same for ducks. My goats keep stealing the duck food, and they are as wide as they are tall. I thought if it is safe for ducks I could throw some hot pepper seeds in their food in that would fix my goat boys! I love them very much, but they are such pigs and I do not know how to keep them out of the food. They find a way around everything we've done. So, if anyone has any idea if this would work and it would be completely safe for my ducks, Then I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Hey. I really like to do household chores, just like you. But unfortunately I do not know much about it. I breed chickens, and then sell them. I started to do this after I had a project at the university. The idea of the project was given to me + who wrote me a plan for the project and its description. The idea of the project was to grow the birds on a certain food and describe their behavior. Thank you very much for your attention. If you find out the answer to your question, let me know. In the future I want to breed ducks, just like you.

Ha, my cat is picky about what goes on his bowl and will not easy any human food. Unless I throw something out for the ducks. Then he is out there with the flock gobbling down the macaroni. Go figure.

He wants to be part of the flock

How do I get my dogs to eat duck poop? That is seriously convenient. If I have the dogs to clean the dining room floor after my kids eat a meal and clean the patio after my ducks, my house becomes self-sustaining.

Many herding dogs (German Shephards, Collies, and the like are naturally attracted to it) I cant get my two Belgian tervuren and Border Collie off poop when i take them herding.

The only poop my dogs show interest in is wild goose poop on the shores of the lake across the street. And only to roll in and then come home to surprise me.

Bout duck poop and dogs. My one year old dog can't keep away. He also likes their feed, and there's no way I can tell him to stop eating it - he eats their corn (whole kernels) and wheat as well. Peppers would most likely do the trick. I used carolina reapers to completely remove voles from my blueberry patch.

Well, the dog also stands in line to steal a zophobas worm from them, if I give them some. He likes to eat everything.
Oh, and I found out he at one point started taking their eggs and he ate them. That usually happens when one of the ducks decide to start searching for an outdoor nesting place.

Other than that, they co-exist splendidly!
