My ducks are eating my goats poo

Ok, I know this sounds like a stupid question but is it going to harm my ducks. I was thinking as long as my goats are worm free it shouldn’t be all that bad as they are herbivores. I don’t think theres a lot I can do other than lock up my ducks up. Which I’d rather not as that defeats the whole “free range” thing. If you think this question is dumb you should read the other one I’m fixing to post. 

This made us laugh out loud. I have no idea as to the answer, but thank you for the entertainment!

hehe

The preview of the thread said "My ducks are eating my goats"

I thought maybe you had velociraptors! Or really, really big ducks!

My ducks used to eat other kinds of poo, too. Like cat & dog... So did the chickens. I never told my extended family, they wouldn't think they were quite so tasty (the actual chicken & ducks & eggs)!

LOL, you should have seen me and the wife, we was laughing our butts off!! We were sitting out in the goat condo, and our ducks came over to introduce themselves to the girls, they spotted these yummy looking little black balls. It was like watching a crack head scoring.

In the summer when we would let the goats out they would rub against the chicken pen as they walked along it and poop as they went, ans the chickens ran out along thier side of the fence stuck thier head through and ate the droppings,,,,gross, but it hasnt seem to hurt them!
