Guest guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I used to show and raise chickens and ducks. Check out the book, The Chicken Health Handbook. It covers a lot of chicken diseases, etc. So few private vets do much with chickens, it's a good source. And on to ducks. Re: bread, it doesn't clog them up or suffocate them. It's just not nutritious enough and once you start feeding them bread that's all they want. If you aren't doing a pelleted or crumbled feed, a mix of cracked corn, wheat, barley, oats, milo, birdseed, lettuces and other greens, sprouts too! are better than just cracked corn. They need a balanced diet like us too. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
