DIY DUCK TREATS?

[littlepip]

Hi! I was wondering if you guys have any easy recipes for some duck treats! It's cold and snowy out, and my ducks don't want to go outside as often. They're not eating as much grass, and for obvious reasons, they can't eat any bugs. They're being fed general duck feed right now, with extra calcium supplements. I feel like they need some protein.
I've seen treats at Tractor Supply, but BOY those things are pricey!

Anything I can make at home? THANKS!

I believe many feed thawed frozen peas as treats. Mine like whole shell corn.

I give mine meal worms(love them). Peas, corn and enough greens(kale, mustard, collard) they can eat before they freeze. I toss some scratch in at night do in the morning they have something to look for first thing.

I also got alfalfa cubes. I soaked them and they really didn't go for it-neither did the chickens. I got 50 pounds of the stuff--one of these groups will be eating it..lol

We use meal worms, bird seed, cracked corn, and corn flakes as treats for our ducks. In the summer time we add frozen blended fruit cubes to their pool.
