I inherited my brother's ex-girlfriends ducks and chickens a few months ago. While I really love the ducks I am wondering if four are too many mainly due to the amount of feed I am going through.
Four ducks (2 Rouen and 2 Peking) 10 layer hens are eating 200 pounds of feed a month on top of foraging all day. Does this seem like way to much feed? I currently don't have a way to separate the ducks to see exactly how much they eat everyday.
Am I being hasty in contemplating rehoming the ducks or will their feed needs drop when the warm weather and bugs finally arrive next month?
