They come in all kinds of colors and, generally, stay leaner than other breeds of ducks. I stayed on a poultry farm that had Runners along with numerous other breeds of geese, turkey's and chickens.Sheila ~ INUA Kennelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763824729121906271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-3493432658119841992011-10-17T16:24:33.303-06:002011-10-17T16:24:33.303-06:00Wonderful post, thanks for sharing.

Bread also has very few nutrients, and can get compacted in a bird's crop. Many rehabilitators see "bread-impacted crop" in sick and distressed park ducks."<br /><br />Especially if they are fed white bread, which has no nutrients, as the goodness has all been stripped out of the bleached flour. <br />Just as people shouldn't eat white bread for the same reasons.LakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-86244382621340570152011-10-16T18:14:11.283-06:002011-10-16T18:14:11.283-06:00Thank you for visiting me! and I love your blog!

I say ... now, listen goose... no way are you going to scare me and I stand my ground.<br /><br />A passerby told me that she had gotten really bruised by that goose and showed me her leg! rascal goose! she said she comes out to this lake everyday and walks and has never been 'attacked' before.... hah! a rabid goose? pooey I'm still not going to be afraid of a goose...

Loved the photos of them all running onto the land for their bready treats! We used to take bread to the muscovy ducks here at the bayou. We had a lot of geese too that loved the bread. <br />At first I thought you ordered something cool & had it delivered there. But it was an even better present! :-)TexCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174615550131393975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-17110798580759364222011-10-14T19:41:44.285-06:002011-10-14T19:41:44.285-06:00What a great post.

I can't understand it - I usually see about half of them.<br /><br />Where does the UPS man get all the bread? How sweet of him - I hope it's good for the birds to eat.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
