Treats for mixed flock?

[KikiDeAnime]

Wasn't sure where to post this.
Since our 2 ducks temporary live with the chickens, I need treat ideas.
They will only be given treats once every 2 weeks.

What are some good treats for a mixed flock?

Hello! I don't have ducks myself, but I've read that ducks enjoy fruit, and my chickens love fruit. That might be a good treat for both of them!

I give my chickens and ducks all the same kitchen scraps and leftovers. Spaghetti, greens, the cobs to nibble after we have sweet corn. I don’t think there’s anything that one can eat and the other can’t.

My 10 chickens and 4 ducks lI've in the same run, different night house. They eat the same food and get the same household food scraps and they love them. They all are so excited to see me walk from the house to the run with stuff. I also give them 5 grain scratch thrown on the ground which they love.

Hi! Ducks and chickens can eat a lot of the same things so really...whatever you would give to a chicken...you can give to a duck. Here is also a link to an article from BYC that might help you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/treats-for-ducks-can-apply-to-chickens-too.74779/

Mine like romaine lettuce, chopped cabbage, meal worms, 6 way scratch, chopped tomatoes, watermelon, chopped cucumbers.
