Can't you keep just a few of them, Zelda?

I think she's over feeding them.

Not unlikely. Are they free ranging? Maybe not enough space.

You should start keeping track. My 30 only go through a fifty pound bag in about three weeks, when I had ten it was a good 5 weeks to a fifty pound bag. You got what 15?

Thing is we don't have different feed barrels for the ducks and the chickens. We just fill up an old birdseed container thing and bring them their food in that (then dump it in a feeder).
Yeah, 15.

We could, I guess, but... Idk, Dad wants to sell them all and none of them are tame enough that I'd want to keep them. :/

We let them out sometimes, but right now nothing's free ranging cuz of Isa.

I must tell Daddy this.

The twenty grown ducks get two and a half to three pounds a day, free ranging. One duck only needs about 1/4 of a pound a day, with free range you can give them a little less. With fifteen you should be feeding maybe a little over three pounds a day.

I see. Can you weigh the whole thing?

Brought it up, he said he still wants to get rid of them. :/

 

[dan26552]

That stinks.

 

[PeepersMama]

That stinks.

Yeah. But I'm not super upset about it tbh. Never got to know any of them that well, and i could really only tell apart Cocoapuff, soo..... One less chore to do, i guess. :/
