Can Ducks Eat Cayenne?

[gatrapper]

Hey Y'all,

I mix in powdered cayenne, jalapeno, and habanero with my chicken feed. Would this be okay for my ducks to eat too?

Well...most things that are okay for chickens are also okay for ducks, but I wouldn't try it until someone more knowledgeable than me answers.

I wouldn't risk it, personally. I can't speak for their ability to digest it safely, but according to this, the ducks straight up won't eat anything with heat in it. Can't say I blame 'em!
