My Love Affair With Ducks...

[shawluvsbirds]

My Norbie-Girl lays shell-less eggs from time to time. I know they do it when they are stressed or get scared too.

I was only concerned if TOO much OS was a thign to be worried about.

I think they will slow up gobbling it down like that once they're used to it being there. I don't think they could overdose themselves on it but I'm not sure.

If they have access to OS, they will take what their guts tell them to eat and usually their guts are right.

I'm not saying absolutely not, but usually they eat what they need.

I have seen my Drake go over and noodle in it when he sees the girls eating it but he loses interest real quick.
he just kind of looks at them like "that is not yummy what are you doing?"

I think I found a new favorite word. When you say "noodling it" do you mean rummaging around in it with their bill? Because that's adorable

Yep.
That be noodling. A little piece of terminology you will not understand until you have ducks. Chickens peck, ducks noodle.
