What do you put in your duck food?

[Klatimer]

Hello everyone,
I was wondering what everyone feeds their ducks? How much and how often?
I feed mine purina duck pellets with a scoop of oats, brewers yeast and grit with water.

Don't feed them oats.
Grit should always be separate.

Dumor 20% Chick Feed with occasional corn/wheat mixed in.
And free range.

Why can’t ducks have oats?

It's not really good for any poultry, especially not every day. It causes slow digestion, blocks nutrition and causes sticky poops.

My duck feed is 2 parts oats to 1 part field peas with fertrell nutri balancer. My ducks do great on it.

I just feed straight Purina Duck without issues. Do yours free range at all?

Any diet works...until it doesn't. But hope yours work

My ducks free range. I don’t see how oats could be a problem. They have a balanced, varied diet.

I feed my adult ducks Nutrena NatureWise All Flock for the higher niacin content. Grit and crushed oyster shell are always available on the side.
