Hello! So this is a first. Someone abandoned this poor duck and I took it in. Her/his wings are clipped, so I knew this wasn’t some wild duck. After asking around, some neighbors said they have been feeding it chicken feed for the past couple of days. I know it’s a better alternative than bread, but can ducks even eat that? Can I feed a combo of chicken feed with other things such as mealworms, oats, and frozen peas and carrots? Or should I try to make a trip soon to get duck feed? I read different things about chicken food so I don’t know what the answer is.
My friend thinks this might be a crested duck? I’m guessing this is a female after some of the things my friend told me, but I’m not 100% sure. Any advice on how to raise a duck would be appreciated! Do ducks like to swim during the winter? I’m open to getting it a small kiddie pool if they do.
Edit: I guess he’s a male then? I’ll call him Uncle Waldo!
