What food do you give your ducks ???
Is chicken feed OK??
Mine wont eat scraps so it may be more important to know this.
Thank you

Yes any of the commercial chicken feeds are fine for ducks. Pick the one that is appropriate for your age of duck. That is starter, grower or layer.

layer pellets , scratch mix , works fine,

i also use dry dog food and bread ,


regards jase

do you wet the dog food?

I have read that one shouldn't give bread to ducks, I was really surprised by this comment (on the internet) as I have always given my ducks bread, admittedly only as a treat

Thanks for the reply Andrew .. looks like Im doing it right then.

Thank you Jase, I will go find out what scratch mix is now .. see if I cant get them a little more interested again

I use a scratch mix but add a little extra wheat and oats and yep dry dog food

yes, but do you wet the dry dog food?
