if she had a duck that wasn't laying egg she would do this weird trick and they
would lay some eggs it is a cold one this morning like I mean a brutally cold
one this morning but there's no time like the present to start an experiment
we've had our khaki Campbell ducks now for about six months we still haven't
received a single egg and I got to admit as somebody who's trying to start a
business an actual farming business that's a little bit of a frustrating
experience to be keeping animals this long without having them produce
anything well they did make a little bit of money selling off some of the male
ducks that we called back in October it's still not enough to put us in the
black so my friend Lindsay who is a keeper of many ducks herself I was
talking to her the other day but moaning my issue of oh gosh my ducks
haven't started laying eggs now Lindsay said that she had a trick that always
worked and even in the dead of winter up here if she had a duck that wasn't
laying eggs she would do this weird trick and they would lay some eggs her
secret was this she said if you feed your ducks kitten chow for about a week
or so they are gonna start laying eggs and
chow like cat food now I'm not necessarily buying into this cockamamie
scheme but in this video I'm gonna try it out and see if it works for me
one part their traditional food with two parts cat food release the Kraken
command a little girl get your bolt their weights you cool today
all right guys I'm gonna feed you inside the duck house this morning
let's see if they will eat this cat food
yeah they're going at it I gotta admit it does look like they're sort of eating
around the cat food a little bit they're not totally chowing it down like they
went for their regular feed that was interspersed and they're really
searching you can't expect to have ducks laying eggs if you don't have a nesting
box but I actually have a using these crates as nesting boxes when Jemima
Puddleduck was laying eggs she would actually lay in here so I feel like they
should be the right size and they should work I even have some ceramic dummy eggs
in here so you can see those right here so funny story some friends of mine who
I used to work with as a going-away present when I was leaving my job in DC
to move up here they all gave me a bunch of ceramic eggs and they happen to put
their pictures on them unfortunately the eggs are just getting
caked in duck poop and so uh sorry about the coverage there David it was a really
sweet gift to them now there are some people out there who are gonna be saying
you shouldn't be giving ducks cat food that's food for cats not for ducks and
you know conceptually I'm not too worried about it because when you think
about what's in the cat food it's basically just ground-up meat and grains
so cuz when you think about ducks they are omnivores they eat a ton of insects
so throwing a little bit extra meat in their diet shouldn't be too bad for them
the cat food I got I made sure that there was no duck by-product in it so I
actually looked because they didn't want to make my
ducks cannibals but beyond that again it's a one-week span so it's not like
it's gonna be their constant diet the idea behind it all if you if you start
to unpack it there might be some logic to Lyndsey's crazy thinking so the
science behind this in theory is that the Ducks will respond to the increase
in protein in their diet and that might get them to start weighing but that
might just be junk science you're gonna have to watch the end of this video to
find out if it actually works these work gloves have just seen way too much work
they've been eating the food they haven't eaten as much as I might have
expected them to eat they're eating a fair amount of it let's see how they do
I guess this is probably gonna blow up my certified organic registration but oh
well I feel like for people who might be buying our eggs I'm just trying to be
very transparent and so if you can see the manner which our Ducks are raised
and what they're fed you might find some comfort in it so I hope that's the case
they have consistent access to fresh unfrozen water I'm just kidding it's cat
food it's cat food I'm kidding easy savage beasts so we recently hooked the
cat's up with some creature comfort this is like a heated cat bed they really
like it at first they were really scared of it but recently that's like pretty
much where you can find them at all times when it's this cold
another heroic scoop cat for today
here's a brief guide to understanding how cold the weather here is a cold shot
farm based on what I'm wearing on my head looks like this is a perfectly
appropriate way to dress today
so it is a freezing cold day and you guys are not gonna believe this like I
can't believe it man you can see it right I have icicles forming on my
eyelashes it is -11 degrees out right now and I just went into the duck house and
I found an egg and I found an egg and I found an egg my first egg from the khaki
Campbell's this egg is much smaller than the the eggs that came from the peckin
duck Jemima Puddleduck I can't believe this
man I mean it's frozen solid so
unfortunately I got that going on but uh Wow I can't believe it there's an actual
honest-to-goodness egg that was laid by our ducks finally I am absolutely
stunned now whichever one of you gals laid this egg kudos to you Wow
I'm actually keeping them inside today because it's so dang cold this is no
point in setting them up outside they won't be very happy
I mean it's ugly as all heck it's a little bit poop stained it's probably
frozen but it's an egg from our farm this is a egg board that I actually
carved I carved it when I was still living in Washington DC and Allison had
just moved up here and I was living in DC dreaming about life on the farm here
and so I carved this thing by hand because I dreamed of one day being put
my own eggs poop right inside of it and now I can and to me that's pretty
remarkable it just feels like quite the milestone for our farm and it's all
courtesy a cat food just goes to show you I think I want to go flashback to
the summer when the ducklings first arrived on a farm so you can watch that
in the video right here or you can watch something else you can also subscribe
over here and I think I'm gonna go make this egg and then watch that video so
I'll see you guys over in that next video
