Husband put the ducks away tonight and came back to ask whether ducks can get drunk because a couple were staggering around. I realised I'd given them the trimmings from the windfall Bramleys I made into pie for tea. Mostly just the cores and peel but there were a couple of bad bits. Would that be enough to affect them? Or does something else make ducks stagger?

I remember Mum putting out some apple stuff (don't know what it was I was only a kid) but the hens were definitely staggering around afterwards!

I've certainly heard of pigs being 'drunk' from windfall apples

Ha ha, bet they all have hangovers this morning.    I guess the rotten ones start to ferment and could be alcoholic.

We've had drunk chickens from eating windfall pears. It only takes the tiniest amount and of course the stuff ferments in the crop.

Well they were drunk - definitely recovered but headed straight for the water the next morning (clutching their heads  )
