My ducks also love Peas. I thaw them first and keep them in the refrigerator. when I give them as a treat I put them in a bowl of water. they love it. I have a question though, my 2 mallards seem to be losing their breast feathers, is this normal or is there something wrong with their diet maybe?

My ducks don't get excited over peas either, I got 2 Pekins

Welcome to BYC

Could they be molting ? or have you noticed them in the nest box more often are they laying?

 

[didee67]

The one is a male I think and they are only 10 weeks old.... Could they be molting at that age?... Sorry, this is my first flock

 

[Amiga]

I think my Runners molted at ten weeks. Boy, was I surprised! Feathers everywhere! We had eleven.

 

[didee67]

Oh... Thank you so much... We have 2 mallards and 1 pekin... Still waiting on sez because I didn't have them sexed

How about dried peas? I don't give them to my ducks but they are in the pigeon feed and my ducks have discovered the washout drain for the coop....you know, cos ducks are disgusting! I've been worrying about them hoovering up yucky old pigeon feed
