I give my ducks 1/3 whole wheat + 1/3 cracked corn + 1/3 duck raising pellets. In the winter a bit more corn, a bit of fat on the runners does not hurt if the temperature is cold. Last three weeks I could not buy pellets, so to the 50/50 wheat/corn I mix a handful of dry cat food (fish+pea+spinach) that is powdered with a hammer. Also, from every midday to the evening they are free to roam in the garden and they eat a lots of sprouts they pick from under the snow. Weekly they have a handful of mealworm and crickets cause there is no insects in the winter to hunt. Some finely chopped veggies from the kitchen too, mostly carrot peels. From March I will give a side tray of oyster shells to help them in egg-production. I tried to give them chopped seafish fillets but they were not interested in it (spitted it out), however they like live baitfish, I kill those as humanly as possible and cut it to pieces with a scissor.

I think most corn here in the US is GMO. where is the corn sourced from? Curious. If you can get it w/o go's here?
