Although they've slacked off the last few days, today we reached 100 duck eggs for the month!
QUACK QUACK QUACK
We buy waterfowl food for our ducks from a company called Mazuri (which I believe is part of the giant Purina Mills entity) - but for the last few months it has been on back order at the store, so we've been feeding them the same poultry layer food we feed the bantams. Around Christmas the food finally came in, so we switched them over - and after a week or so of adjusting their bodies, they've gone laying 2-3 eggs a day to 5 eggs a day! Duck eggs for everyone!
Who knew there was such a difference between feeds? Although now Cabol worries that we will use up each duck's 'supply of eggs' too fast. Maybe we need to buy more baby ducks this spring...
