Schrodinger's Ducklings
ZuZu is still faithfully brooding her clutch, and doesn't seem to have thrown any of them out of the nest, so I've taken a leap of faith and ordered duckling feed* and a puppy pen today.
* Hmmm. Wonder how much ducklings eat? All these websites are rubbish, they just say 'ad lib', 20kg sounds like a huge amount for just the first three weeks of their life, should I just buy 5kg on eBay? Ah, this thread looks good: "We are getting 4 runner ducklings [...] on the advice of the guy working there, we ended up with a fifty pound bag [...] seems excessive for four ducklings"...
- They eat like crazy
- They eat a lot! And produce 100 X the amount of food they eat in poo.
- Ducklings eat their weight every day. Iam pretty sure.
- we bought one 50 lb bag of duck feed when we got our four ducklings (two pekin, two mallards) six weeks ago. I just finished off the end of the bag this morning.
Ok, 20kg bag ordered.
