duck food

[TarynLord]

any suggestions on what I should feed my ducks? I don't really wanna do the purina. looking for more natural options and things we can add for health benefits to daily feed!

I would stick to giving them duck feed (if that's what you mean in "I don't really wanna do the purina" ) since it works well in giving them all the nutrients they generally need.
As for healthy snacks, this thread may help! >>>

I used to give my ducks minnows for an extra treat.

Check out Nature Crest it doesn't come in duck feed but it is NON GMO and I have been using it for many years and have had good results. I add Nutritional yeast.

I have been using Manna Pro Duckling and Gosling food from Amazon. It is a touch pricey at $25 a 20 lb bag. I am in a rural area in Wisconsin so it is slim pickins for me. Loved it until Amazon jacked the price on me to $53 a 20 lb bag. I went and got a bag of Purina from TS and it is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Very powder like and is messy!!!! I don't like it at all. I went back on Amazon this morning and they dropped the price back to $25. Bought 3 right away.

I also add yeast to it all even though Manna Pro claims it doesn't need it.

go to a local feed mill. they will have much higher quality feed. at a much more reasonable rate

I work in Ag, on the cow side of things, so I am not sure how to ask. I assume ask for "duck feed"? Do they ask for ratio of corn and such?

my feed mill carries prince foods so i buy it like that. i prefer all flock because i have turkeys and chickens and ducks. just go in ask if they can mix an equivalent ive never been to a feed mill that will not help you with a plan.
