How much does it cost to feed 15 ducks a week?

.. my ducks get gold fish twice a week...

What do you mean by gold fish? Do you buy them in pet shops or raise them yourself?

hi guys.


I'm am getting 6 new ducklings on wendsday, and rehoming two of my drakes soon. Then I will have 1 khaki 1 ancona 4 welsh harlequin and 4 rouen and two calls. So that all together is about 12, I was planning on hatching some more khaki eggs to get some ladies for my drake, I was planning on keeping two girls and selling the rest, or giving away free. Then I was going to hatch some call eggs when my female starts to lay, and keep one female. So then by the time I have that last call, I will have 15 ducks! If that is to much ducks I need to know now! (BTW the reason I want all these ducks is 1 I love ducks! 2 I am planning on hatching ducklings to sell, and to sell hatching eggs thats what the extra call girl is for)


Thanks!

Sorry to come into this so late but I have 16 ducks and 3 geese. Right now the geese eat mostly grass because its here so they don't eat much feed. I go through a 100pounds of feed every 2 weeks. So about 50 pounds every week. (I get paid biweekly) so buy feed for 2 weeks. I used to get dumor feed at tractor supply which is about $15 here. So about $30. During the winter I get 50 pounds of feed and 50 pounds of cracked corn to help keep them warm, as we have freezing winters. I have since switched to a feed mill feed which has no brand name and I spend a whopping $23 for 100 pounds. Not sure how much I feed a day. But I have a 2 cup scooper in the feed bag and I fill that about 5 to 7 times two times a day. So it really varies as to how much they get a day. Just figured my 16 would be close to your 15
