Is my raw diet for my ducks okay?

[Pollo Blanco]

You can use chicken feed or finding duck feed is a problem
I can’t get duck feed where I am
I just add nutritional yeast for the extra niacin

Mine forage so much that food is basically just a method of getting them to their pen, etc.
Not sure when the idea of dried, packaged food became superior to fresh food. Must have been in the 50's; advent of the refrigerator and dried dog food.

My ducks free ranged all year. Mostly on the pond. If your ducks have access to a mature pond they can find algae, seaweed, snails, baby fish, pollywogs, etc. You can also create a compost pile with worms (red wigglers) that the ducks can eat from.

Didn't take mine long to find it!

They discovered today that they can eat the ants off of the stepping stones!

My ducks do forge to but I don’t own a pond , lake , dugout ect with fish , snails ect that give them a lot of what they need

Peas have some protein and niacin. You could try adding some until you get the feed.
