feeding eggs to ducks...

[Duck mommy 2019]

i’ve heard feeding eggs to ducks is healthy? i have some questions though... raw, scrambled, or hard boiled? just duck eggs or are chicken eggs fine? can 1 year old drakes have them and are they a healthy treat for them? how about 1 month old ducklings (unknown gender)?

Always cooked, light or no oil (if you can). I found scrambled is best liked. I have fed them to everyone. Feeding them to ducklings as young as a few days old mashing it up really fine for them.

Mine love them scrambled and steamed I leave the shell on the steamed and just crush in my hand. Littles only get scrambled here.

Mine also like scrambled. Never thought of steaming and mashing up shells on. Great idea thanks.

we take eggs straight from nesting boxes and crack them on the ground. it helps their feathers grow. I've heard of some kind of cake for them but I just crack em.

I had an EE who was an egg eater I won’t feed raw to my ducks or chickens.

They don't need it...just a fad that someone thought was good.

Just like we don't need to eat 'junk food". Its a treat for them for peat sake.

Ducks can have eggs raw or scrambled, I leave the eggshell for calcium too. Eggs are a great source of vitamins and protein, they even live off of it for the first few days of there lives.

My Fawn an white Runners the 2 that survived the shipping would not be here today if not for the scrambled eggs I gave them. Just wish I had thought of it before I lost the other 2
