What are the best duck foods?

Answer by  Kris (797)

Duck pellets if you can get them from a feed store. Feed corn, fruits without seeds, leafy greens are good too. They'll eat bread, but it's not healthful.

It is probably best to go with a natural duck pellet. Other than that, I would say it wouldnt be bad, to give them; Wheat, barly, cracked corn, worms, any type of green veggies. Stay away from giving them junk food, and especially bread.

Ducks like mash and vegetable trimmings. They also like cracked corn and things like worms. It's important not to feed them commercial duck food, because that food is often medicated. Pet ducks don't need that. Try to keep their diet as natural as possible, and they will be happy ducks.

Ducks are herbivores, usually feeding on aquatic vegetation and algae. Therefore, the traditional "bread" diet fed to ducks at duck ponds worldwide is an inadequate and potentially dangerous diet. Natural plant-based diets, or duck-specific manufactured diets are ideal.

The best duck foods are wild rise, fresh water shrimp and seeds. Ducks should not eat human food or other foods that damage their stomach. Food that hasn't molded or gone soggy is the best for ducks.

Ducks have a tendency to eat and like foods such as breads, crackers and even plain potato chips. They love them!

The best duck foods would have to be what you find near a pond everyday, such as live worms, fish, and even algae.
