Hey all! Im new here, Ive already posted in the new member section. I do ducks for self sufficiency. Im wanting to bring the ducks off the grid by not buying commercial feeds.
Right now, I have a patch of field corn big enough to feed them over the winter. I have a freshly plowed spot for sunflowers, I just need to sow them if this rain will stop. My birds also free range constantly and I do have very rich range. I have two earthworm farms to feed them this winter. I also sprout wheat and alfalfa in the winter for them. Any ideas on increasing their alternative feedings?
I have Muscovy ducks too. 4 adults and 15 newly hatched babies (from a duck hen), so I dont worry about not having replacements for them!
