feeding ducks

[hdowden]

ok i feed them duck feed bought from the feed store but they never seem to get full and are always eating. is there anything else i can safely give them to eat? i used to let them free range till they decided they wanted to fly around the yard (mallards, Cayuga, moscovy ducklings(2.5-3 months) and Cambell), i want to free range but cant and trimming wings is not an option since my kids show them in the fair and they do get marked for trimmed wings.

Are you wanting to supplement their feed? then go to Celtic Farms web site and look up what they feed it will give you some good ideas on what else you can offer. but if you are talking about treats there is a duck treat thread you can look up also.
