Feeding chicken to ducks?

[oldrider]

Wasn't this sort of thing the essence of "mad cow disease" and all it's off shoots?

[The Stranger:Me]

They definitely eat it, I was just munching on some KFC and throwing the scraps to the ducks in the stream that runs alongside the house.

WTF, you eat KFC and you're worried about what the ducks eat?

It was the French who supplied it..still have not forgiven us for Napoleon

Yup, and look where all that led!

[Okey Dokey]

Hmmm... isn't there a kber called "Mad duck"? Do you suppose he eats chicken?

I think it is a long stretch to jump from feeding scraps to ducks in the park to making cattle feed out of sheep that had scrapie (a brain disease) But yes, that is indeed the origin of mad cow disease, which appears to be linked to Creuzfeld - Jacob (sp?) disease in humans. People who have eaten meat from mad cows have a higher incidence of C-J brain sickness.

Ducks are omnivorous, but cattle are vegetarians BTW.

It does sound a bit mad..... I always assumed ducks to be herbivores, but they are probably up for anything chucked to them in a park! Although.... thinking what we've fed chooks over the years, someone mentioned egg shells and yeah, that it a bit odd / freaky I guess!

Apparently you can feed pigs anything.... except if feeding them offal from when you kill sheep etc... you can't feed them lungs cos they can expand inside of them....

Always kinda wanted to test that one but wasn't mean enough!
