I have no idea what I am doing

Happy Easter to you too? What are your thoughts on the fertilizer question?

Oh sorry. . I missed that.
Hum. .you know I can't answer that one. I've been too afraid to use much of anything chemical wise as well since I've had ducks.
I do spray weed killer in areas they don't go. . but I still worry about the runoff when it rains.

Do the same rules apply for ducks?

I doubt it, ducks probably need to be reasoned with. Sorry, I don't have any ducks. But I'm learning fast!

I agree the way ducks noodle in the ground and how do we know how long chemical fertilizers stay around. What about their pool water seems that would be good fertilizer?

I feel a little embarrassed.
I forgot this was a duck room, my bad. But ducks aren't too much different from chickens. Except swimming, mating, eating, feathering, and social behavior. Never mind, they are way different! I want some someday.

It actually is and we pump it out onto the lawn several times s week but last year we were overtaken by crabgrass and wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

She just wants to be a mama. What about letting her hatch 1 egg?

x2 How can you bear to thwart her desire to be a mom?

She is so pretty! She wants to be a mom...why not let her. You could always find a new home for the ducking if you needed to. You know better tho and know what is best for your flock.

I do it all the time if I didn't I'd be over run with ducklings, of course it's always hard to take up the eggs but I know what I can handle so that wins out.
