Show off your house ducks!

I walk out my door and say quack.....my ducks will fly from where ever that are thinking that they are getting popcorn and bananas....that's their fav.....Phil

Okay, that is really adorable.

As soon as I step onto the back porch and call my 12 duckies over with "Hi kiddos", they come running, expecting treats (of course).. But how do you get them to eat popcorn and bananas? We have never tried popcorn and bananas went over like a lead balloon.

The ever growing list of treats includes but is not limited to meal worms, tomatoes, watermelon, lettuce, cucumbers, peas ..

Mine won't eat tomatoes or oranges...But they like lettuce alot

Mine like whole wheat. I can sprinkle, hand feed or drop it in the water for them to dabble out.

Mine love mealworms, scrambled eggs, whole grain rice, kale, tomatoes, peas, I never tried cucumber. Can they eat zucchini or eggplant?

Kale is fun. Plant it now. It will start to grow and will then wait for spring.

All of a sudden it will shoot up to 6 feet tall with huge leaves and a stalk like a walking cane. The ducks will jump and eat all the leaves they can reach. It is VERY entertaining. Then bend the plants over and let them finish.

Leave a few standing to go to seed and you can sprout them or save to plant again.

Here's my kids digging in mud in my garden I am slowly disassembling and in their new pool which we all love. Deep enough for them to actuality swim plus has a drain. Fantastic!

Not sure about eggplant, but ours have tried zucchini. They weren't overly impressed.

I just tore down my kale plants and froze the leaves for winter. I've been trying to find seeds for plants to grow a garden in the inside for them this winter.
