Can I Feed My Ducks Fish?

[morninggloryhatchery]

Hi!
i have a Cayuga duckling at 8 weeks old and a Pekin at 7 weeks old living together. I have been giving them itty bitty comet goldfish once a week. Is this healthy for them? Fish is protein right?Have a great day!

Its totally fine, just don't overdo it. Many people will buy a bag of feeder goldfish and dump them in a kidde pool for them to "dive" for. Its a great treat for them, that otherwise they would probably never get. Many people don't have ponds for them to fish in, so its a good alternative.

when I was but a wee lad, my twobrothers and I would take our young ducks and pt them in our father's bathtub minnow tank..

it was great sport to watch those little ducks dive and chase down the minnows..

either dad never caught on or he just figured to let us have a little fun..

I absolutely love giving my duck goldfish. He always looks so happy, like he just discovered a jack pot of delicious-ness.
But then again, hes always happy.

Answered my question. How much is too much?
I have 2-3 acres pond, that I know they'll one day discover

it's got all kinds of fish and other scary creatures.

but we also have Canadian Geese that like to play at our pond and call it home, along with Beavers and otters-otters different story

So how much is too much fish?
