The Early Duck…
A blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara
Now that the ducks are in their new space, we have settled into a new routine on Miller Farm.
Each morning I feed the chickens their fermented chicken feed and give the ducks cat food. I haven’t found a specific duck feed and the cat food has the calcium they need so it is all good.
I also retrieve the egg that Lucy lays. In the afternoon I throw some feed to the chickens and ducks and gather chicken eggs.
On Fridays I empty the “duck pond” i.e. wading pool, and refill it with clean water. Last week when I turned it over to empty it, there were many worms underneath.
Lucy thought it was a feast.
Ricky was a little slow so he missed out.
I guess it is true – the early bird gets the worm – even if the bird is a duck.
