I agree in the future it would be best to stock up. I buy 150lbs of feed at a time and place my order for the next shipment as soon as I'm down to 50lbs. This leaves plenty of time for my next shipment to arrive and no possibility of running out of feed.One of the issues I forsee is what if they don't eat any of the extras that are offered? My ducks are the pickiest when it comes to food. They are offered their feed at all times, but they won't eat everything that gets offered to them when I do offer treats. I have to pick it up and throw it to the chickens or throw it away. An example is peas - my ducks refuse to eat peas. As well, last night I thew some field corn in - they turned their bills up at it.
Also, are you offering canned corn or frozen? If canned, then it should be rinsed as canned contains a lot of extra salt that they don't need.
Birdseed might be an alternative short term. But, again if they are picky plus throw in duck's being leery towards anything new - I'd go out of my way to get their feed - whether it's ordering it and paying more or driving extra.
I also stock up - not because of the distance - but because I hate shopping for all things.

Out of duck food, can i feed just cracked corn for awhile?
Yep just animal corn, I do have some frozen (no salt) corn I could use too if that would be better?Quote from the first post in the thread:
So the corn is not canned or frozen, it is dry corn meant for animal food. No need to worry about extra salt or anything else that might show up in "people" food.
Cracked corn is easier for animals to digest.Yep just animal corn, I do have some frozen (no salt) corn I could use too if that would be better?
The animal-grade corn is probably better for the ducks, if they will eat it.Yep just animal corn, I do have some frozen (no salt) corn I could use too if that would be better?
I would try to leave some available to the ducks for now, because they might eat it after they think about it for a while.I tried to give it to them, they won’t eat it
