Feeding Berries to Ducks?

[HomesteadDucks]

Hello,
I was just wondering if I could pick wild berries (raspberries, black raspberries, and blackberries) then dry them out to add to my duck feed. Is it ok for ducks to eat these wild berries?

It's fine to feed them, and I'd do it without drying since you'll lose nutrients, if you know them to be the real berries and not something poisonous or treated with pesticides. Whether the ducks will eat them or not is a different topic. I've never had a single duck that would eat berries, and I've had a lot of ducks.

I give our berries to the crows because I do everything I can to entice the crows to nest around our property. Crows love them, so you could try that.
