Ducks & Geese |
Ducklings are usually reared in well-ventilated
purpose-built housing with plenty of space. They
are slaughtered at six to eight weeks old. |
|
97% of ducks sold in the UK are home-produced
Pekin ducks. |
|
Geese breed only in the spring. After the first
four to five weeks of life, geese are reared outdoors
and some are brought inside at night. Their diet
is supplemented by special feeds. |
