Persimmons?

[Enigmius]

Can ducks eat persimmon scraps? I searched on the forum but didn’t see anything.

Looks like they can:

And my first attempt at this question revealed that ducks can be eaten with persimmons, too.

the boys loved it, the girls not so much.. but the girls are always more timid on new foods. The boys seem to be more eager to try everything.

I've got 3 persimmon trees and none of my runners would eat them. I was sad!

How many boys did keep?

I don't have ducks but I have persimmon trees and they usually don't fall till January or later. During that time, the first thing chickens do when they come out in the morning is to run to the persimmon trees and clean up what fell the night before.

I still have all of them at the moment The second person pulled out a couple weeks ago. But I finally found a home in Houston. I’m driving down there Saturday to deliver the boys to a person with 24 other waterfowl and a few acres. I imagine that the boys will love their new digs.
Third time’s the charm, right? Fingers crossed.

Aww and here I thought they had already gone to their new digs many weeks ago. I hope this works out and they settle in nicely.

Love to see some updated pics of your flock when you get time.
