Can I give rye grass from my yard, for the ducklings?

[Patrick McKee]

It is an area where their new home will be eventually. I have seeded rye, clover, pea and some other winter edibles, it was a mix. It is pesticide free.

They are exhibiting lots of behavior, picking at the paper and trying to get straw from underneath and also nipping the edges of the container like they are going after bugs.

Could I put some rye grass in there so they could pick at something edible? I know it is ok for older ducks, just not sure when to give it to these babies.

They did have their first bok choy greens bath today...made a mess and flung water everywhere, but man they had fun!

Thank you.

I would stick to more softer treats..Tomato, Romain lettuce, watermelon and new grasses like clover ..peas too

Thank you!

I cut the bok choy greens only really fine and put them in a bowl with water and they took a bath and ate the fine stuff...it was super cute, I hope it wont hurt them, it was all I have at the moment, they are sleeping now.

I cut up tomato and all the things I mentioned before and put in water..They love it.

As long as grit is also provided, any grass/yard clippings should be fine.
