Ducks love to forage around a garden. They search in mulch and under plants for tasty grubs and worms. Ducks like to eat grass so they will enjoy grazing on lawn and keeping the weeds down.

Ducks love water and use about 1 litre of drinking water per duck per day. They need water to keep their eyes bills feet and feathers in good condition. The water should be deep enough for them to stick their whole head into and to wash their body.

Ducks need to be kept in a secure pen or house when you are not at home that will protect them from predators. Duck housing should be out of the sun and should provide wind protection. A simple three-sided shelter with a mesh front and door is suitable.

Never give mouldy food to ducks. Mould spores can cause respiratory diseases or sudden toxic reactions. Keep water clean and change drinking water every day. Don't worry that they turn their clean water brown within minutes that's normal!
