Ran out of duck food can I feed just corn

Would cat food work? I have a fish one already here and the sizing is about the same as normal duck pellets to make it easy for them to eat?

Yep! If you see my most recent post thats what I suggested. That sounds perfect.

I also have mealworm treat for them and then one of those treat square things from flock party treats company. Will a bit of those as a supplement help?

Mealworms are good because of their high protein, but only feed them in the amount you would feed treats. 10% of the diet, about a tablespoon per bird.
Make sure to feed fruits and veggies along with it to give them some fresh nutrients as well.
Do you have layers? Make sure you have Oyster shell available for calcium, though laying is probably down because of molting.

Only thing around here is dog/cat feed. Not really a farming area, so not even chicken feed. It would hurt them even within 2 weeks or less?

How old are they? If they are adults I think chicken feed is fine.

No chicken feed either, the bad part about living in the “city” with ducks. Nobody has farm animals so we have no farm stores

They sell chicken feed just at the walmart by my house maybe you could check

We still have oyster shells and grit for them readily available whenever they need

Have you tried calling a pet store and see if they have any ideas. A vet may as well.

Ok so would a mix of cracked corn and cat food work as the main feed for 1-2 weeks? With fresh fruit and vegetables for snacks and also mealworms and treat squares on the side to as 10% of diet?

I’ve called quite a few pet stores around here, nobody sells duck feed. There was one that I saw it at a few weeks ago but now they don’t have it (of course right when I need it) but i’m gonna go there and check tomorrow anyways, I doubt it though
