Best thing about raising our own meat birds is the taste and knowing where it came from.

Can they eat bird seed?

They can. It might take time for them to eat it. I like to ferment the wild bird seed. Hope this helps. Thank you for commenting!

how often does this happen?
@lilacoaksfarm22 күн бұрын
It is rare, but can happen. I just wanted to share. They can die, if we can not get the vent back in. Does not help, they keep pushing it out. But when you find the right position, then your are good. Does not work like that for everyone, just my experience with it.

Take a momma off the nest and dip her under belly in water,,, that cools her off. Close the coop and make them stay out. That’s always worked for me with hens. Put her in a separate space works to. Normally no eggs they give up. Thanks for the duck information! Wish me luck! 🙏

How does the flying work do you clip their wings?
@lilacoaksfarm2 ай бұрын
Domesticated ducks generally can't fly. Muscovy and Mallards can fly. They can use their wings to jump on or over things. They can "fly" if there is a nice wind. My Runners got a nice breeze and went over the fence which is 4ft high. They mostly glide, when they do try and fly.

If you are raising them to put them in the freezer , more water ends up meaning more fat . If I am raising them for the freezer , they only get water to drink . Breeders get water to play in .
