Guest Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi know its a bit late but hope you are getting on ok Most ducks do need water to dip their heads in so make sure they do have access to water in an old tub (they will mess it up terribly) Hope you let them out and about ! Ducks are brill at eating snails and apart from trampling plants on the whole are not as destructive as chickens with plants(mine never ate my plants and are always looking for snails) my neighbours throw snails over. But hey are a friendly breed hope they are fine indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Glad the sole survivor will now get some special attention. Rabbits and a duck sounds an interesting combination! Hope it works out well for you. indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
