Pekin duck's diet

[2Gerootheducky]

Hello everyone, as some of you know we have a Pekin that is around 20 months old. He is let out to forage for grass nearly every day and when in his coop is given yellow corn based poultry feed and seems to feed off worms and other creatures in muddy parts of his coop. However recently he seems to be getting tired of the yellow-corn feed. He eats it, but not as much as before. He is healthy, but isn't too interested in the yellow corn as he used to be. We have dry foods such as rice and oats. What are some of the healthiest and yummiest treats we could prepare for him?

A balanced ration specially produced for ducks would be the best choice or at least a flock raiser type feed supplemented with Niacin.

I'll look for that. Thank you
