Hatching
Hey All,
I just got four 7 week old ducklings (Black Swedes/Magpie mix), this is the first time I've ever had ducks. I've always been aware of how poisonous water hemlock/ false carrot is to pretty much any living animal, and as obvious of an answer I am assuming to get, has anyone ever had any issues with their ducks eating the hemlock? or will they naturally be deterred by it? We have a ton growing on our property, everything is sprouting and beginning to bloom here in CA. So now i'm about ready to go weed as much as I can. The ducks are kept in their run for now as they acclimate, but I would like to let the free range soon.
Thanks for any input.
