I don't think ducks will actually eat shaving, they just nibble on them, now ducklings have been known to eat them. I doubt if the did eat on a few it would hurt them, if they ate a lot it could possibly cause their crop to become impacted.

Will noodles like mac noodles hurt my ducks.

Take a look at the list of duck treats in the Stickies. The Stickies link is at the top of the Duck Forum.

Bread and noodles are not good things to feed ducks. Some people use them if they have to give their ducks medicine, but only as a rare treat. Peas and mealworms are better for them.
