I don’t want eggs or babies . I’m not looking to breed.

Just offer a safe place to live out there life .

What do I do when the time comes …… about the female to male ratio.

I think I have three males .

Could I just keep the males together in a trio and the two females together in a pair

With a divider in the cage , but still allow them access to see each other ??

I want to know ahead of time

Watermelon rinds?

Zucchini skin!

Tomatoes skin?

And others?

I know they can’t have onion…but what else can they not have

Is there anything I should be doing first before giving to them to eat …besides wash.

Pic so I don’t get lost

I posted about these ducks being found under my carport abandoned. Well, we’ve been raising them. And they’re growing…. But how much are they supposed to be eating?

They have a14ft run, with a small chicken coop, I use to put them up in at night (8-8:30pm) until morning. No food or water after dark . They come out between 7-10am .

They get let out, new food and water put down, pool filled, and rechecked every few hours since someone is always home.

They eat approximately 3-5 times a day. Kalmbachs duck & goose feed %18

I took away the organic duck crumbles, with high protein since I didn’t actually know the age..? Should I still give some high protein food mixed in. They’ve been on the Kalmbachs for about a week. Not mixed with anything. I offered mixed greens cut finely. Thawed frozen peas, and neither were a hit, they nibbled and tossed it aside. I tried putting it in the pool and moving it around. Not really interested.

What other greens and vegetables can I offer??

They do love store bought black slider fly larvae, crickets, mealworms, super worms , red belly minnows, and whatever bugs they find foraging on the ground.

How much is too much..? They always seem hungry.

The last picture in the blue tote was the first day that we found them.
