Curious if I could give them some rice too

My Adoptive mom fed left over rice to the ducks. She will put more water after it was cooked so it was a bit mushier. You all had fun while I was gone with the age thing. Good that is a good sign. I stick to my guns. I am 39 but will not tell my shipping and handling fees,
I remember at 52 I was so proud of how I looked. Now, I could care less. Well, not all the time. I sometimes go down to Muskegon and my students live there. So I make sure I look decent.

This last year, who cares? by the time my facemask is on, the hair and lack of makeup are the least of it. And only going to the grocery and feed stores anyway.
About feed; fresh is best! Here we feed Purina, which is fresh at the local TSC. Don't have ducks now, but Flock Raiser is a nice diet, and something labeled for ducks, and fresh by mill date, should be fine.
No way are we paying for shipping, when there's good stuff available locally.

My girls turned 4 wks with me today. I think they are older. Is there a way of really knowing? They seem different age each one of them. When do I change their feed to pellets? And some perches were made for them but last night they all slept on the ground next to each other as always. They get on during the day but not for sleeping. Is there something wrong? Did I waited too long to give them one?

Okay good. People made it sound like if I didn't get the best quality my ducks would well die. Wonder if I could supplement stuff in there too kind of like treats.

First, find out what Flock Raiser is missing, if anything.

No nutrition there.

Flock Raiser

You can get pretty fresh(<3weeks) FR at the Paw Paw TS...do you drive?

No, that's fine, they may not roost to sleep for another couple weeks.

ok, fine. You twisted my keyboard and screen. I just turned 62 on February. Now, Can I go back to 52 at least and then if we get serious then I will give the shipping and handling? I assure that my handling is pretty stiff but my shipping is affordable,

Gave broccoli to my girls tonight. They are laying like if they are full. It was only 3 little pieces chopped. Phoebe was a bit upset because it was not from my hand but a small plate. I cannot stand broccoli nor its smell. Was going to buy those mealworms at TSC yesterday but I do not see myself touching them. I know they are dead and dried but no thank you.

Do you know of how to find out their real age?
