Hi all,
I like to give my girls treats with their breakfast, which has basically meant about a cup of frozen peas warmed up each morning. I go through a 1lb bag of peas in three to four days, as I don't measure out exactly.
HOWEVER, the frozen peas are starting to add up, especially when not on sale. I did check at BJ's Wholesale to see if I could get a bigger quantity/cheaper price, but the price there worked out the same to the price on the peas at the regular grocery stores. (When on sale...which is almost every week.)
Is there something that I can buy at my feed store, in say a 50lb bag or so, that I can use as treats? I don't want to do grains, as they already get their layer pellets and I don't want obese ducks. This summer there is going to be a "duck patch" full of veggies for them to have in the garden, but until then (and after then) I need some treats for them.
Ideas?
