What to feed ducks in the winter?

[duhu]

I own two ducks (both female), and they are both on their second winter now. I read that they are not supposed to get a lot of calcium in the winter, so I have been feeding them oats mixed with some purina feed. However the oats get expensive fast when feeding it to them all winter. I was wondering if there are cheaper options available? Or if I heard wrong and that you can give them the laying feed in the winter? Thanks.

I would think that an all flock maintenance diet plus oyster shell on the side would be better than oats.

Hello! Cracked corn is great in the winter as well and is fairly cheap. Any veggie table scraps? They'll love that as a treat!
