Title: rootsfarm_signature
Hi all,

We are just moving into our best farm season now and moving right along with us are zillions of slugs and snails.  Does anyone have experience with ducks as slug control?  Are different varieties of ducks more passionate slug eaters?  less passionate vegetable eaters?  What are the problems/challenges with ducks on a farm?  Can they protect themselves against large hungry boa constrictors or do they need some kind of screened shelter at night?

We'd be grateful for any information from your experience or references.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and all best wishes,

Karen
