What is a good snack for ducks



And here is a bit of info i stole off some website lol: Angel wing is a wing deformity, also known as slipped wing, commonly found in ducks and geese where the last joint of the wing is twisted outward. The leading cause of Angel wing is high concentrations of protein in the diets of growing waterfowl. The highest incidences of Angel wing in waterfowl occur at parks where the public is allowed to feed ducks and geese items like bread, which are high in protein and are not a proper diet for these animals.
 
Mine sometimes play with a ball lol but i don't think many ducks do that i would just leave them a big bowl of water to swim and play in not deep enough for them to drown in though, and if you have any creeks or rivers/ponds near your house you could go and pick some water plants for them mine go crazy when i fill their pool with duck weeds. They swim around and eat them all.
 
Ok do they like to have a nest to sleep in because mine are going to be about 2 days out of the egg
 
I'm not the biggest expert on this kind of stuff I have only raised a couple of ducklings myself, someone else would be able to give better answers than me but i'm pretty sure they need an incubator or heating lamp for the first couple of weeks. If you don't have one make sure they have a hot water bottle full of warm water to keep them warm but not too hot especially at night. When i have raised baby ducks and chickens i keep them in a cardboard box at night with a hot water bottle with a towel over it so its nice and comfortable for them i also put a little waterbowl in and a towel over the box to make sure the warm air stays in. I'm not good with types of grass my ducks eat any grass if they don't like it they will usually spit it out.
 
If you type when can ducklings be put outside you will see threads where BYC members have already chimed in. I got adult ducks and won't have ducklings for probably 1-2 months =)
