My ducks - 10 runners, 1 mutt duck and 1 mystery duck, are pretty hefty. AutE, my mutt duck, could afford to lose a little so I guess they get fed plenty: they get free all purpose poultry pellets - about 5-7 cups a day, 2 cups of grain scratch, 1 cup of cracked corn and, in the evening, 4-5 handfuls of peas (a bribe to get them into their house). If it's a particularly cold night, they get extra corn. They also get all kinds of greens from the garden, spring, summer and fall. During the day they have over an acre of woodland to forage in. Yes, they're spoiled, but they're healthy!I noticed that my drake Daffy felt lighter then I remember. Seems like he's lost weight this winter it's been so cold where I am. I bring them in at night tho. Is there something I could supplement in his diet ? Or something to help him gain some weight ?
Something took one of our ducks earlier this evening. Now our other duck is lonely. Didn't get any of our chickens but now I am worried it will be back for more.![]()
