Barncast 122 — A whole lot about ducks
Welcome to another great weeks show!
- Intro
- Farm Phone
- Ducks nesting
- Corn cobs
- Round-Up
- Numbers
- Bonafide injured
- Garden, Re-planted beets, Planted peppers, basil, oregano, and a couple more eggplant, lots of weeding, more needs to be done
- Farm – Living Incubators
- In the past we’ve used incubators, sometimes successful, sometimes not
- Geese always sit on eggs and never have a good success rate
- Turkeys were not successful either, though they sat on a ton of eggs
- Viable eggs start with diet – breeder ration, good protein, higher CA:P ratio
- Also need a really broody bird – not all are good sitters
- Finally had a whole group of hatchlings – at least 9, we have lost 1
- Benefit – less work for you
- Detriment – many fewer hatchlings in a year because sitting birds don’t lay eggs
- After-care: Take them away or leave them with mom
- Life
