My Magpies think they are pigs

[AnotherKim]

Seriously, I give them about 1 and 1/2 cups of chick feed (non-medicated) and a tablespoon of Brewer's Yeast, for three 3 week old ducklings, at least 3 times a day. They still peep for more in the middle of the night. Is this normal? Am I overfeeding them? Am I giving them the right amount of Brewer's Yeast? These babies are little porkers, lol.

Ducks eat a ton. It's crazy to see the difference after you have only had chickens.

Good to know. Thank you. They've grown so much faster than my chicks, too.

It's probably because they need to double in size every 6 hours.

Mine are pigs, too. They eat, sleep, poop, and make a mess out of their water. And poop.

Yep. Sounds just like mine. lol
