Thanks everyone! This is all great information. Basicly I just wanted to know if I threw in potato peels by accident with the rest of the scraps that pigs wouldn't get super sick. We have enough food scraps and pig feed that we don't need to be spending time boiling a bunch of potatoes for them...

Ok so we are raising 2 feeder pigs right now. We feed them all our fruit and veggie scraps and bread and all that good stuff plus their swine feed. I've just heard so many different things about feeding pigs potatoes. I've had a few friends who also raise pigs tell me to never feed them...

We have 3 week old ducklings and one of them is showing signs of (what i'm guessing) a niacin deficiency.

That's what we are doing now. We just couldn't make it to a store tonight to get another lamp so we had to do something for now. Thank you!

That could definitely be a possibility! The chicks look a lot like our little one. Thank you!

It's a pretty big hatchery that sells pretty much everything.

We received our chicks in the mail a few days ago and they sent us a bonus "exotic" chick for free, but they didn't say what breed it is. The rest of the chicks are white Wyndottes and this bonus chick is smaller than the rest of them. Can anyone help me out? Thank you!
