Kinda silly but I'm a worry warrior

So my female (mallard) recently has been eating more grass than feed like 80% grass and 20% feed (Scratch and laying crumble) All in all she is healthy. If anything helps she is about to be 9 month's lays a few eggs every so weeks and doesn't seem stressed or anything

That's what duck eat naturally isn't it? I'd think she'd be fine.

So far the internet said that wild mallards eat mainly grass/weeds and worms/small insects and animals but is my Male (pekin) won't eat much either unless she eats

Mine free range in the yard and now that the weather is warmer they are eating a lot more grass and bugs and less duck feed. It was like this last summer too..
Saves you some money on duck feed

Probably eating way more insects and bugs than you realize.

Black poop is a good indicator of bugs and worms and slugs.
