Hi I'm new to raising ducklings, I have 3 Indian runners at nearly 4 wks I've had them 2 wks, does anyone know if they can eat slugs yet, because quite happy to go and get some in the garden

If they have had access to small grit, they should be able to eat some slugs.

Ok thanks wot type of grit like sand x

You can get chick grit at the feed store, often in small bags, or some clean sand - not too much, just a teaspoon on a day's worth of food for a few days if they don't get outside in the soil (they will eat the soil and get grit that way if they can get outside onto the ground. Make sure where they go doesn't get sprayed with weed killers or bug spray.
