Mornings With the Ducks - Bath Time and Azolla Breakfast

[@survivalpodcasting]

Update - We have named the Rooster "Not Sure". Yep another bird named after an Idiocracy character.

[@GamesVonJames]

Definitely a Jorge

[@jonnaughton]

Gregory Peck?

[@UrielsJunkDrawer]

Joseph, aka Joe, seems about right for a rooster of his temperament.

[@gamertime8841]

Jersey Joe.

In northern IL this time of year the duckweed does in fact grow as fast as people say it can. I have a quarter acre pond that is fed from rainwater runoff off of nearby farm fields. My pond looks like a putting green.

Big Mike 😆

[@survivalpodcasting]

😂 Good one I am thinking about going back to Idiocracy since a past one was Uppgrayyedd and calling this guy Not Sure since we were not sure for a while what he was.

I vote big mike

[@dfreak01]

That's mean

[@SMOKEtillUReyezBLEED]

I like not sure. I was trying to think of evasive character. He is trying to evade capture in that movie and I like the Abbott and Costello type capabilities with a name like not sure

Does azolla gets it’s nutrients from ducks popping in the water or does one add other fertilizer in the water?

[@survivalpodcasting]

The ducks don't get access to the water where it is growing in this video. It is fish waste and remember azolla fixes it's own Nitrogen so it more needs P and K and micros then lots of waste.

[@survivalpodcasting]

Also if you let them into where azolla is you won't have any very soon. They eat it like candy. I do have one pond that dumps in duck waster but it is really for another plant, but azolla does grow in parts of that system too.

Billy Roy Bob 😅 😂

[@nickchoate6221]

I say "monster truck" is a cool name for the rooster.

[@paulaturner6147]

“pity the fool” hawk? His name should be Mr. T

[@LegacyFarmandHomestead]

Holy shit, azolla has a protein content of 35%.

[@survivalpodcasting]

Yep, but just know that is dry weight.

[@LegacyFarmandHomestead]

@@survivalpodcasting yeah but that is still incredible. I might be doing some experiments with it and drying it out on a screen to save for winter feed for my chickens. That seems promising

[@survivalpodcasting]

@@LegacyFarmandHomestead Make sure you dry it in one layer or it will literally compost itself.

[@LegacyFarmandHomestead]

@@survivalpodcasting thanks for the tip!

Black Jack the Rooster
