I was just thinking i'd love to see pics - go to the next page and voila !!

Lovely lovely pictures - your crew have a very cheeky look about them !

Ours like high grass / plants and have a great line in coy peeking around it - I'll see if I can find some pics too.

Mine like high grass too. My neighbors keep bugging me about it. I keep half the yard mowed, the half close to the street, but my ducks need their prairie and their clover patches

dunno about the toxic, my wife put 2 flats of tomato and paper plants that were started out with in with the ducks, raised up where she thought they were safe, they knocked them both off, and thoroughly thrashed them not once but twice, she decided it was easier to move the hose than keep the tomatoes in with the ducks. were currently awaiting the garden to get bigger before we let the ducks graze on bugs in it.

We do a salad similar for our ducks. As long as it cut up into small enough pieces you shouldn't have any problems. The Ranch Dressing is what makes the Salad Unhealthy !

mine prefer blue cheese

Lettuce doesn't have much nutrition. That might be considered unhealthy if that's all you're feeding them

That's to funny ! I have always read and heard that the tomato plants were toxic for them and was curious if anyone has had issues with their ducks wanting to eat the plant, or do they know enough to stay away from them on their own?

I read somewhere that ducks won’t eat plants that are bad for them because they (the bad plant) tastes bitter to Mr. Duck. I can’t confirm the legitimacy of this claim, as I don’t remember the source of the material. Perhaps someone on here can confirm.

iceberg lettuce isn’t good for them, romaine is. they just get a “salad” once or twice a day anyways. they have dry duck feed available all day long.

We use Kale rather then Romaine lettuce.
