Hi!
I don't have any ducks currently but I plan to get some in the future. For the time being I am learning all I can in hopes to be a good duck owner. I have been reading about ducks getting worms, treating worms, about the dewormers. However I can't seem to find any tips on preventing worms in the first place? I have read deworming isn't recommended until the duck has worms. (I plan on eating the eggs of my ducks which is why I am looking into all of this.) So..
1. Is there anything I can do to help my ducks avoid getting worms to begin with, if I can't give them something to deter worms like you can a dog?
2. Or is there something I can give them to deter worms that I haven't found and doesn't interfere in human consumption of duck eggs?
3. And if I end up having to give my ducks something? is there any reference to find out how long the eggs aren't safe to eat?
Thanks!
