My neighbor doesn't feed his ducks

[FutureMillionaire]

I have a neighbor who also keeps Muscovies but his are black in color. I notice he doesn't feed them. He just let them eat the bugs and weeds of his yard. His Land is bigger than mine and he even have a pool for them. He only spends money for water and rice hulls for bedding. He dont buy feeds at all. His land have thicker grass and vegetation than mine though.

Are you positive he doesn't buy feed?

My Pal never fed his Ducks really either in the summer. Once a day he tossed out some grain by the pond and other than that they ate what they found.

Production will be much better if you feed them a balanced diet. If they can forage in a wheat field or something I can see them getting enough food.

Yeah he told me doesn't feed them because they feed themselves. I am from a tropical country so the vegetation and insects are more diverse. In my case I feed mine twice a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon.

Everyone does things different so don't worry about his Birds.

Do they look malnourished or thin? Empty crops?

 

[FutureMillionaire]

They look fat, I think his ducks roam around the rice fields where there are lots of snails.

Do you feed your ducks?

That's all that really matters.

Don't stress about what he does.

I feed mine twice but they eat all day long because they are great scavengers.
