What is the largest...

what is the largest thing a duck can eat?

I have some 4-7 inch fish, that if I cant rehome in a few weeks to a month , will be fed to my ducks.

Im thinking that those are too large, but then ive had a few ppl tell me that a duck will eat anything.

I'm not sure about ducks, but wouldn't chickens pick fresh fish clean?

I think it would depend on the breed/size of the duck.. Like a full grown Pekin could eat something that large, while I'm not sure a call duck could..

I have 3 males that are mallard(2) and mallard descended (1) and a buff female.

Our mallards eat 2-3" fish no problem.. I would just put them out there for them and they'll eat what they can, I would imagine.

Well If I cant find a new home for these little fishies ill try it out.

would they choke on it , or how would they eat it? lol, ive never fed them anything bigger than 2 inches. and those were minnows from the pond next door.

The fish is a gourami and it has, well spikey fins on top.

They should be able to. My calls would probably at least try.
