Feeding veggies and fruits?

[akpeeps]

My duckling is 4 weeks old. Can I start feeding fruits and veggies? If so, what kind?

Thanks! Gayle

I would leave the fruit out for now but vegs are great..My eat frozen peas ,kale,romaine..Lots of green stuff..If you start feeding that they will need grit also

I started feeding mine veggies at about 3 days old.

Mine love anything green and I started them at 2 or 3 weeks. They really don't like fruit and they are about 4 months old. They LOVE scrambled eggs! Seems odd that I collect their eggs and then scramble for them, crazy maybe??

I just recently introduced my flock to watermelon. Only 3 of them like it.

My ducks love watermelon. Vinnie and Ollie gobble it up! Peas are an all time favorite.

Peas = duck crack

tomatoes cut in small pieces, mine also like to make a raid in the vegetable garden and eat the blace eyed pea leaves and sample the sweet pepper leaves... I have a large pot of mint growing in the back yard and they are eating on that also. LOL... Oh they also like beet leaves and the skin after I've cooked them.. still working on other stuff as I get it.. they weren't impressed with canned peas.. will have to get some frozen ones.. Oh cucumber peelings are a hit also cut in to small pieces..

My chickens will demolish watermelon when I put it in their pen. It is like their ultimate treat....
