Duck desert!!!

[swannyduck]

Hey i found out that my ducks loveeeee cracked corn! we have a nice garden with lots of corn and other goodies. i also recently discovered they like small bitesize bits of apple! I am wanting to make a life-time duck desert for them. so far im thinking just dried out cracked corn from the garden and small dried out apple chunks from the garden. Anything other vegies/fruits that they would like??? Tried giving them zucchini but they hated it haha. Open to suggestions! And i know this will be asked by someone. No it isnt going to be their only food, they eat store bought food made for ducks! this will just be a little treat!

Hi, check out this link for great and proven ideas:

My ducks are ok with zucchinies (as long as I chop it to tiny cubes), they like watermelon rind (pinkside up, they pick it), and love the half-fermented fallen plums (they spend the afternoon in shade lightly wasted, greet-quacking to me stridently like a bunch of hobos).
Flock full of teenage ducks expanding boundaries. Not very keen on fruits though, they like to eat the leaves of the plum tree (it is bitter, I tried it).

My ducks love cut up tomatoes, especially when it's hot and I've had the tomato in the frig. They like lettuce too but not if there's any tomatoes around. They like an overripe cucumber that's hot from the sun so you can step on it and open it up for them to pick out the inside.

Oddly, my ducks will not touch grain of any kind. I've wasted my money twice now on scratch grains...

I've heard they like frozen peas but I've never tried them.

My runners don't like red things, which include strawberries, watermelon, and lily leaf beetles.

Hmmm.

But green things? Oh, yeah! Peas, cucumber, watermelon rind, lettuce, lamb's quarter, chickweed, violets, jewelweed . . . . .

And they like to eat oats off the stalk, or rolled oats, and several grasses. They like hard winter wheat, too, and a little flax seed now and then.

I like to give them things that float in their pond. Keeps them occupied chasing it about in the water and keeps my son and I amused watching. So for that I give whole corn cobs, watermelon, cucumber, mushrooms, strawberries and sprouts.
