one of our 4-H kids has a pair of Sultans, they are kept in shaded pen with proper feed and care,however they have developed yellow feathers, what can he do to remedy this problem. thanks
Hi,
I have two pekin ducks and have been feeding them cracked corn in the morning, and dog kibble in the evening as a treat (they love the dog kibble). Should I stop feeding them the cracked corn? I would say that they are about two months old.

Do you feed corn? This will make white birds have yellow in their feathers. Where do you live? If it is a cold climate then look at the grocery store for some white popcorn. Yes, it does exist and this does work. Anyway, I would keep birds that are white on a diet consisting largely of wheat. This will not affect feather color. Corn has no nutritional value, however, it helps maintain body warmth when it is cold. If I can answer some more questions just email me.
