If you're going to put it in their food, I'd recommend brewer's yeast. It's a lot harder for them to get too much of it. 100-150mg per gallon is correct, though.

Try kale instead. Mine LOVE kale.

Goats are fun, we had them when I was a kid. A bear got them, though. I didn't used to like geese, but I'm thinking that when we get some property where I actually have some room I will get a pair.

NICE! I would have driven to get mine if I could have. I hate the thought of them in their little box in the mail. I didn't want to get them from the feed store because who knows what kind of mix and match ducks they have, plus I wanted girls and not boys. I MAY get a single drake at some point...

I haven't been able to get my mallards to try ANYTHING except their pellets and cracked corn. Nothing seemed to appeal to them at all. Then I tried peas. It's hysterical watching them. They're not quite sure how to eat them, but they're going crazy for them. I think I may have found the...
