Sell Me On A Duck Breed

[casportpony]

How do you find out if the particular birds you order are hatched at the actual Hatchery?

I would call and ask.

Interesting, I wonder if they are breeding them there?

I guess they do, they are available only every two weeks and it looks like after mid May they're all sold out.

They are so fascinating. I could honestly sit and watch them all day, just like my chickens. Thank you for sharing.

I sometimes spend a full afternoon, just sitting there, watching them do duck things. To me that is like a vacation trip.

Some very busy ducks! Working for their supper! I love how they talk every breath as they are working!

All for the show! In the evening they were telling me that they haven't found a single grub and no worms at all, so i must give them some extra cat food…

I hear the same from mine too. There sits the pellets but they want mealworms or dog food

What kind of dog food are you feeding them? - I was looking for dog food too, as it is even more affordable than cat-food, but i am afraid those pieces are too large for my Runners. (Not worried about Blanca, she could swallow the bag whole!)

I hear ya! I’m the same way.

When I let my chickens out in the morning they will head to one of two places, the barn or the back deck. The barn offers spilled horse feed and, well, horse poop and the back deck offers left over dog food sometimes. I feed my dogs Purina (in the green bag) which has three different sizes of dog bites. The first girls to get to the bowls get the smaller, darker kibbles. The slowpokes have to settle with the lighter colored and slightly larger bites (almost the size of a round dime.) They manage though.

When i let my flock of rascals out in the morning, they all run straight to the porch-steps where i have that container with the cat-kibbles waiting for them. This is from last year:

There is nobody slow here, when it comes to cat-food!

Mine gather around the feed coop door when I go inside waiting for their dog food treat. Hollering too.
