The Duck Thread

I didn't know bird flu was in AL just heard it has been found in KY. 

It got here just after it hit Tennessee, its up in the north part about five hours from here near the Tennessee border. It's been about two weeks.

Me too but I do love my 2 drakes but pains in the pattotie they sure can be. My Runner drake has 7 girls and my Muscovy drake has 4 and guess what the Runner wants the scovy's too. He is such a stinker.

Your runner's in his first spring, he probably wants the geese, the chickens, the dogs and woe to any girl hawks that come lookin' after your chickens...

Yes Opie probably weighs around 13-14 lbs Snoop probably weighs 3-4 lbs. Opie ignores the female Runners and Buffs too. and you know that isn't normal for a drake. lol I think because of their shape possibility and maybe they speak a foreign language too. lol

Plus Opie already has some very pretty girls!

Is there a recommendation on how much to feed ducks. I had to remove them from my chickens till they get older because they were eating to much. Just looking for a recommendation on how much is best for them? I have had them for about 3 weeks. They were recently born right before that at tractor supply. I have one Pekin, one Blue Swedish, one Golden 300, one black runner, and one Campbell

They are supposed to have unlimited feed available to them as ducklings. Some remove food at water at night only once around 7-8 weeks old

Second try with the East Indie ducklings Thursday. Just got shipped out tonight. I ordered 10 pullets instead of the 8 packing peanut boys last time and have plenty of non poisonous food all ready. I am curious if anyone uses fermented feed for their ducklings. I use it with all of my adult birds and all of my chicks normally (helps with smell big time) not sure why but I feel like it wouldn't work with ducklings.

You want them? I'll probably end up processing these. :/

Oh no. But, but, but.....

I can't have ducks where I live. I rent a small townhouse. Waah!
