How do they survive in the wild then? WIthout Purina etc? It should definately be an option to make a "home made" duck feed.All those "chemical" names are the vitamins and minerals.
If you mix your own grain, you will need to add a vitamin mineral supplement and then you will have the same "chemical" names in your home made food.
All of the home grown veggies are really good for them, but not a complete diet.
I get my feed from a local mill that uses whole grain, plus the vit/mineral. There are no mill ends or hulls or spent anything. So if you look around, you might be able to find something where you like the ingredients.
Don't forget to add calcium, phosphorus, vit D if anyone in your flock is laying.
