Emotionally weak - pet ducks

[Miss Lydia]

I guess it is harder to get poultry feed etc there than in the states we have access to so much sometimes hard to make a decision on what to buy.

Maybe you can get some ideas with the links in the thread I gave you. If you have access to any of the grains mentioned. That is my problem with making home made recipe is getting all I need with out shipping it's not that easy and shipping is very expensive.
I do travel 50mile round trip to buy the Non GMO feed you probably don't even have to worry about GMO most other countries don't grow GMO crops.

Is it possible to contact a Wildlfe rescue place and find out what is available in your area to feed them?..What were the Ducks being fed where they came from?..

 

[jendarwin]

My babies were rescued. They were in bad shape when we saw them. We picked them up and brought them home and that’s how they became our pet ducks. I wanted to stop purina as they were making my babies chunky. I read somewhere and started mixing lentils and boiling them up for them.

Can you get grains?...Veggies are good..Grasses. Dry cat food..Hmm?.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I don't think Lentils alone is going to give them all they need in nutrition.

What other grains do you have available in your area?

 

[jendarwin]

Oats, barley, rice, buckwheat, maize.

Oats, barley, rice, buckwheat, maize.

I would cut out the rice though..

Joybilee Farm has a recipe, and Carol Deppe adds some cooked sweet potatoes to her Anconas’ diet. The feed I use has wheat, flax, field peas, a little kelp amd fish meal and some other ingredients.
