Hi everyone,
Yesterday we moved our 4.5 week old Khakis outside. It's quite toasty right now where we live although it will be going down to about 13 degrees C at night over the next few days. I'm not concerned that they'll be cold in their house since it's insulated and we are monitoring the temperature with a remote thermometer (with other options to warm it up if we need to).
That being said, we've been letting them spend the majority of their mornings/afternoons outside for the past 5 days or so. And since then I've noticed they've been eating less of their duck starter w/ niacin sprinkled on top. I'm going to assume that's because they're foraging on their own in the pond and surrounding areas. Do I need to be concerned that their nutritional requirements are being met outside of what's being provided for them at night (feed with niacin in their house)?
Thanks!
