Slaughterhouse Question

[Mister Inadequate]

OK, I mostly am running an EGG Farm. I started raising ducks(after Chickens gave me enough $ to expand). However I did not research and Ducks, in this game, do not produce Eggs. So I built a Slaughterhouse to convert them to meat to sell. How many medium duck pens do I need to provide enough duck to the slaughterhouse to convert to meat. My slaughterhouse has been sitting there saying it lacks ducks I have about 1,000 ducks and they never provide any spares to the slaughterhouse. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Ok, I was playing on easy. I just started a medium game and notice chicks are being born on my Egg Farm. I suspect that Slaughterhouses are pretty much not for easy. In case any one else was wondering.

Messing about with ducks and slaughterhouses the best ratio I could find was 6x medium pens with 20 ducks - there is a bottleneck with the slaughterhouse delivery van so adding more pens doesn't help. With large pens 4x and 34 ducks. Using 3 slaughterhouse workers instead of 4 slows production to stop the annoying "not enough ducks" icon. Also in duck slaughtering news - if you're murdering them for a mission just build a medium pen, buy 25, send 'em off unfed and repeat.

ok, thanks. I'm playing the Free Mode. I decided, now that I'm playing Medium hardness to stick with eggs for awhile until I build back up to $1 Million - which is the starting funds. I am also playing a strictly for fun game where I have a mix of eggs and dairy - I have 8 small pens for each and the Dairy is out performing the Eggs by about a factor of 2. The one hing is I am buying feed as opposed to trying to grow it, cuts down on the $ for machinery.
