How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[fatty and friends]

My ducks don't like lots of stuff on the "Treats your ducks will love list" like peas. I think that shows good taste because I find them gross too. It is hilarious to throw a bunch of spaghetti noodles to the ducks and chickens. Grab one and run for your life.

have you tried giving them string cheese? mine are all obsessed with it lol

Starches, what about feeding them rice? and if so, cooked or raw? Id think cooked so it dont expand in them and plug em up.

They can have raw or cooked. The expansion thing is a myth.

When mine were young they loved cracked corn, now they look at me as if i want to poison them. - But when i cook the cracked corn for a couple of minutes to soften it they gobble it down like a delicacy.
Also, my ducks love cooked sweet potatoes! - Those actually contain a lot of carotenoids which turn the bills, legs and egg-yolks bright orange.

Great tip on cooking cracked corn! I'll try that it's so available and cheap. They love wheat when I soften it up

I carefully followed the instructions on building a sprout tower. Was working great and I was ready to treat my ducks to fresh greens throughout the winter. When I put in the first flat of sprouts, you would have thought I was introducing alien gastronomy. Good thing the chickens like it.

I haven't tried Spaghetti! So far mostly elbows and penne. Wifie doesn't like long Spaghetti noodles. But i must try that! Sounds hilarious! - And before y'all bash me: It will be whole wheat spaghetti!

You mean like this:

That is funny when a chicken gets a worm or lizard and then the chase is on until one of the others finally gets hold of it then the tug o war is on, then it gets ugly. Poor lizard is probably thinking oh please just eat me already! I can imagine the spaghetti noodles the drama they'd cause in the flock.
