Fussy eaters!!

[Cheekie1961]

i have 2 ducks a Rouen and a Pekin .. They both are fussy eaters. What treats are good? They get kale and dark greens, they love tomatoes besides the cracked corn what else can I try?

Also dried meal worms are a favorite here.

Mine love frozen corn! Also, they will strip a watermelon rind clean.

If you put these things out for an extended period of time do they refuse to eat it? Or do you leave it out awhile or try to hand feed and they won’t eat it?

I hand feed it ..and they take it but spit it out...

They love watermelon but one of them almost choked on a piece .. So now I grate it.. Worrying to see them do that.. They don't like corn.. I just want to be able to give them more of a variety ..

Well, my geese and ducks will do that but eat it later. Waterfowl don’t exactly have sophisticated palates, so it’s entirely possible that they just don’t want it out of your hand, but would eat it otherwise.

I throw mine peas, watermelon, corn, pitted cherries, lettuce, spinach, dandelion leaves, strawberry tops...the list goes on and on. They’ll eat all of it, but only the geese eat dandelion leaves from my hand.
