what should i feed abandoned duckling?

[mahinapoepoe]

I found a duckling wandering the condominium grounds that I work at. after letting it be for the day hoping its mama would come back for it, and then looking around for its duck family It got dark and rainy so i picked the little bugger up and took it home. its been a few days and I haven't been able to find the right feed at the only feed store on the island I live on. I did order some from amazon but in the mean time would appreciate any advice on what I can feed it. So far ive given it papaya, scrambled eggs, cooked oatmeal, and chicken breast.

I fed this to my ducklings for about a week while I waited for my local feed store to restock on duck food!

No problem. Good luck! That was my favorite part, that they were all common ingredients.

Green peas smashed up, the flock raiser formula in crumbles works well when u can get it. But supplement with raw spinach, or some other greens with water if u can.

Spinach is no good...It blocks the body from absorbing calcium...Not good for Birds....
