Ducky snacks???

Besides corn... what other treats do you give your ducks? What is safe?

Thawed out frozen peas are one of the top treats for ducks... also healthier for them than corn... here's a great list...

I cook oatmeal and add in frozen peas, chopped up bananas, meal worms and frozen blueberries cook it all up and serve it warm for my 100 plus chickens and my 18 ducks everyday. They all have their breakfast dishes that are always in the same places scattered around the runs and waste no time eating it up!
They love it so much that it gets everywhere on them!

I cook spaghetti squash or Butter nut in the microwave for 12 minutes...Poke lots of holes in it..I cut it in half, cool and give half to my Ducks and the other to the Chickens..Romane lettuce, cucumber diced, broccoli,tomatoes...etc...Never spinach

I give my ducks a small treat each day of either spaghetti noodles with peas and cherry tomatoes, or rice with corn and dried cereal pieces, or a salad.
For smaller treats, peas or cherry tomatoes are their favorites.
I get creative and sometimes spend more time on their "dinner" a.k.a treats than I do my own

My ducks are a bit picky - they seem to like anything crunchy and green though. Favourites are cucumber cut up into small dice, romaine lettuce or kale.

I also buy mealworms in bulk from eBay and throw a handful into their pond or water bucket. A 5kg bag lasts about 8 months for 3 Drake's.
