Your ducks favorite treat??

[duckchix]

What veggies (or others) do your ducks enjoy the most?

 

[duckyfromoz]

Peas is top of the list for mine- but there are quite a few that they really enjoy. Lettuce, tomato mango and watermelon are also high up the list of favorites.


there is a thread about treats and supplements in the duck stickies - you might find that interesting to have a look at as well.

Im not sure if my ducks ever eat veggies, but they LOVE fish and worms. when they were little ducklings, I would catch little minnows and fish and put them in the bathtub and let the ducklings scoop the live fish out of the water and eat them. (There all Mallards)

Oh, definitely minnows or other small fish. Mine go berserk over them. I put them in a bowl of water and it's a feeding frenzy.
Also peas. Or corn.

my ducks like salad leaves, watermelon , tried them with feeders but they werent interested but like thawed out fish fingers with the breadcrumbs removed chopped up and scattered in their pool
and they go crazy for worms grubs that i dig up from the garden they roam free in the garden during the day and i have also seen them chasing flying bugs and snap them up
