Can Ducks Eat Goat Feed?

[HuskerHens18]

Long story short, my pregnant Nigerian Dwarf Nanny, Strawberry, is living out the rest of pregnancy with my lone Indian Runner, Daffy.

I would not replace Daffy's diet with goat feed. I have a nesting box on the floor that Strawberry can't fit her head inside that contains Flock Raiser crumbles for Daffy.
The thing about Strawberry is she's short. Too short to reach in a hanging feeder bucket no matter how I rig it up. I have to set it on the floor, but Daffy likes it too.
The brand is Purina Goat Chow.
There is always fresh water available for both animals, they don't share the same water bucket.

So yeah, my question is: Can Ducks eat Purina Goat Chow?

I'm sure they can.. but should they? I can't answer in a nutritional explanation. Ducks will eat anything in front of their face, but should they be allowed? dunno..

Does goat feed have extra copper in it? Is it medicated. Ducks *can* have medicated poultry feed, but i think the medications used in goat feed are different.

Yeah that was my thought, I didn't think it would kill him, but it's probably not exactly good for him either. If I really had my way, Daffy wouldn't be allowed to eat it at all, but Strawberry is making this difficult. I'm going through all my old cat, dog, and horse buckets trying to see if there's anything different I can set up for her. I'm thinking my chickens will probably have to sacrifice their water bucket, I'll tie it to the fence and see if Daffy can reach it.

I don't think its medicated, at least it's not mentioned on the bag or website. Buuut I pulled up the ingredients and it's MAX Copper is 42 PPM, MIN is 39 PPM. Is that bad?

Go to the Mazuri website and check copper levels in their food.

@casportpony I fixed the feed situation, I cut off part of the barn wall and stuck the hanging feeder on her level. Ducks can't get it, so now I can sleep at night.
