Ran out of duck food can I feed just corn

[animal and duck lover]

Do your birds have access to forage? Do you have a pet store close by, or does your feed store sell alfalfa pellets? You can feed soaked alfalfa pellets along with some of the corn, fruits, veggies, and cooked scrambled eggs for a bit. That should provide somewhat balanced nutrition for a week until you can get food. Try Amazon as well like suggested.
I feel your pain, my feed store is quite a distance as well. I use Chewy.com for that reason.

No alfalfa pellets here (atleast i’ve never seen them) and mine won’t eat eggs or bread. Not sure why, just have never

Says it won’t arrive until october 4th for amazon, chewy only has Mazuri which is unfortunately over my budget

Maybe you could use Amazon. The 4th is only a week away, and that would save you a trip to the feed store, and maybe get it here sooner if you would otherwise have to wait 2 weeks.

I think I'd try real hard to find a way to get them feed so they have a good balanced diet. Less than a week maybe, but they really need the nourishment especially if any are going through molt. Or layers.

They are molting

Mine won’t eat bread. What fruits and vegetables would be good for them

Peas, watermelon. I feed mine frozen peas, thawed of course for a treat. Tomatoes romaine lettuce. Boiled eggs chopped up are a good source of protein. Macaroni, cooked. Potatoes cooked are a good duck food. All short term. Nothing beats duck chow.

If they're hungry they will. When my Chewy orders get delayed I buy Scratch and peck feeds until it arrives. Theres a farm store closures buy that only sells that. They hate it haha, but still eat it since they're hungry.

Where are you located? This might give us an idea as to what you have in your area.

What about Timothy grass, Orchard grass? Do you have cattle or horses in your area? Usually horse owners buy that for their horses. A store that has horse supplies will have it. Alfalfa is fed by some members on here soaked in the winter. Usually because of the limited forage.

I feel like this is one of those questions where you knew the answer before asking the question. And if the store is over an hour away, have you factored in the cost of driving in your time and fuel vs the extra cost of the feed to have it shipped? You need to factor in the value of the health of your ducks, too, especially if you’re just ordering once. My chewy orders usually arrive within 2-3 days of my order.

I actually don’t know the answer, which is why I asked.

No farm animals here. Just dogs and cats. I’m weird for keeping ducks as pets apparently
