Ducks become weak in the legs and
die when fed too much grain, and they
cannot be fed the same food as the hens
without liability of loss, yet farmers
will feed all kinds of poultry together
ind ON the same food. A ducks egg is
very large aud. as ducks lay nearly ev-
cry day after they begin, the tax on
them in egg production is severe one.
What they require most is animal food
and bulky material, such as lean meat
or ground meat and cut clover, soalded,
though bran and ground oats, moisten-
ed, should also be allowed. just as soon
as the ducks indicate lameness it is IA
sure sign that too much grain is being
fed and the heterogeneous food insufficient.
