That does seem like a lot of feed. I only have muscovy ducks. They free range a lot on 3 1/2 acres and also eat chicken food and we give them a little cat food once in awhile. They also get dog food if they can sneak it from the dogs dish lol. Muscovy eat more meat, insects, etc than some other breeds of ducks though.

My 1st Article Submission..... to BYC

And Sumi gave me a little incentive to finish writing it! So this is one less ya all need!

My Article is being submitted because I almost lost my Beautiful Blue Cochin, Fluffy due to Vent Gleet this past Summer. What a stressful learning experience and WOW hard to find information to treat naturally. My girl was so thin and so wasted away and this treatment was AMAZING so I just have to share everything I learned in the process this past summer, and trust me I kept ALL the information I found and all the pictures I took when I was trying so hard to figure out what was wrong! So sharing is hoping to help someone else in that same stressful situation to get through and have the info they need at hand.

I feel like a horrible mommy! I let my 4 month olds coop door open this morn and they ventured out to free range, dh let dogs our to potty and my four year old says daddy what is Zoe and Bailey (lab and boxer) playing with? yes, it was three of my beloved youngsters! so there should be a rule...ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask if chickens are out before you let dogs potty!! I miss those sweet little ones already...rest in peace babies...no dogs will ever mess with you again!

OMG NO!!!! awwww
