Okay I wasn't 100% sure

I don't think they are supposed to eat the leaves off of broccoli and cauliflower, I hear you can give them the florets but not the leaves

my chickens and adult muscovies eat anything green, I was concerned about babies only. today they remained in a maternity ward while their mom was out so no fear. can I give them some boiled eggs? the feed we have here is low in protein (15-16%).

Certainly! I bet those babies are adorable!

Broccoli and cauliflower are safe, for humans and for poultry. The entire plant is edible, leaves, stems, florets and flowers.

Well from personal experience I have eaten leaves off broccoli plants and had no issues. XD

Hope i get some feedback please... I have a duck that lives at home by himself so no other contact with ducks or other animals have happened. He had a bruise looking spot under his lower bill and later on it became black and now it even looks like a patch like it lifted a bit but is still on the bill, its not smooth like how it was before the bruise and even when it looked like a bruise. And he also had a scrape on the top of his bill which dried up but then now it looks like a little deep "wound" no blood or anything but i try to dab alcohol on it cuz it looks "open". Then another thing i noticed is he suddenly has this tiny "acne" looking bump on the corner of where the nail starts to come down on his upper bill and its weird cuz its not soft or tender feeling but it sure wasn't there before. I seems hard to find a vet that can look at my duck in this area where we are and it's really frustrating.

Can you get a good close up of what your talking about? and an open wound and alcohol wow that has to hurt. Maybe see if you can get some Veterycin. TSC or other feed stores may carry it. it's safe to use on the face and doesn't burn when being applied.

Another question - fighting.
I know I never cease to come up with more questions. Fighting. One or two of my 4 week old soon to be five week old ducklings have started fighting, knock down drag em down fighting. The one had the eyelid and was pulling it, They bump their chests, Launch themselves at each other and they will not back down. The other ducks do not intervene. Unfortunately these are two I brooded so I am sure the real mom knows what to do, I havent a clue, Are they males? Hormonal teens?
