Chicken, I will look into it, as I have 3 tanks. We did, however, offer them cichlid food, which they thought was awesome... and I threw a single baby feeder fish in water bowl yesterday... it lasted all of 2 seconds.

they like cichlid pellets??
wow. i may have 2 try that 1.
i keep meaning to get some catfish pellets for the ducks. i hear they like them since they float.

By the way..... my guys' voices are starting to change (which is funny to listen to), but they are only 12 days old. When do yours change? And is it safe to assume that since Twist is so loud and peeps the most, that she is a girl?

CG, the recommended treat list says koi food, but that is not so different from cichlid food. And yes, they LOVED it!

QJ, great news about the apples getting ready to hatch! What day are you on? How many eggs??

It's day 25. !!! I'm excited!!! I have 2 internally pipped (almost) and 2 that just have a ready air cell. (it swooped low)

 

[Iain Utah]

QJ: Fantastic news!! So, 4 total getting ready to hatch??

I usually can tell the voices around 3 weeks of age. I know some you can tell sooner and some are later, but I know the girls first because of that honk sound they make.

LOL, I won't dare put it out on the pond. But in the fishtanks it's easily scooped off.

I can only imagin trying to get it off of a big pond.

Let me give you a visual. It's a 2 acre pond. With an island in the middle. It's Bad A$%. And gorgeous. But not covered in duckweed. The entire pond was green. We tried sain-ing (sp) it. We tried a chemical that's not a poison. The only thing left was to use herbacides, but we didn't want to do that.
