Feeding Ducks

[aliwarrick]

Hello

I am new to the poultrykeeper forum in fact i havn't written on any forums before. But i have a question concerning my ducks. Can they be fed normal layers pellets as well as mixed poultry corn. Not sure if they need the pellets and the corn will be enough for them.

Hello Aliwarrick and a big welcome to the forum! 99 99

I have 2 flocks of ducks at the moment, a laying flock of runners and muscovies with a few drakes also. I feed 50:50 layers to mixed corn in the spring and summer, they only have light rations this time of year,as both have a fair area of grass and forage. In the winter it is a mixture of wheat with a little layers added, it seems to suit them fine.
