ducks and acorns
« on: October 19, 2011, 17:04 »
I aquired some runner ducklings in the early spring and they've been doing really well, however recently they've gone off their food and I think it's because they're eating the acorns from the oak tree over their pond. The ducks seem fine, but I'm worried acorns won't be good for them...or the family when we eat the eggs.  Should I be worrying or not ?

As far as I know acorns are fine for ducks.
