treats

[Miss Lydia]

We hardly have any either my birds have devoured them all

I wish I was that lucky. My spoiled guys will only eat their treats out of a feed pan filled with water! It blows my mind how each duck owners experience can be so different. I guess as far as the treats go, it truly is a trial and error type thing until you find what your birds really like.

This is the first year I've ever been unhappy about lack of dandelions! Also my first year with ducks

Now when I go for walks I am on the lookout for things I can bring home for my birds to eat. Mine aren't picky at all.

Chopped cucumber

While we're on this topic of treats, when you guys give watermelon, do you remove the seeds? I usually buy seedless but hubs bought seeded this time and I don't know whether or not they can eat the seeds....

Unfortunately my guys are scared to death of any food that’s red- Anytime I’ve tried to give them watermelon, strawberries, even the red pieces of cat kibble will send them waddling away in wide eyed fear! I wish I was joking!! I didn’t even think ducks recognized colors?

i love all the different ideas do you peal the cucumber mine like water emlon and have has to chop up tiny as i think my dukkies are only 5 weeks old lol

Watermelon I wouldn't think you'd have to chop since it's soft. I usually cut them into 4ths since I have so many birds that way everyone gets some. Cucumbers get sliced down the middle and set out only my chickens will eat them.

I leave the peel on the cucumber and mince it very small.
