What Veggies Do You Feed Your Ducklings?

[ecse129]

What vegetables are safe to feed to ducklings? I have heard peas, but what else?

This is the best list of treats I have come across for my ducks and it is pretty tried and true so far

Mine love mushrooms. They also like Romaine lettuce and green beans. They LOVE to eat my herbs (oregano, mint, stevia, etc), but I don't give them those voluntarily or there wouldn't be anything left for me!

mine LOOOOOVE asparagus and brussle sprouts!

Mine LOVE romaine, they enjoy tearing it apart as much as they do eating it, lol.

I started feeding mine spinach, but after reading that it inhibits calcium absorption, I stopped. Now I just go into the backyard and pick dandelion greens for them. They love 'em! Hopefully by the end of today, they'll be outta the basement and in the backyard to pick their own.

I rip grass from the ground while they are watching. They eventually learned how to do it themselves.

Just making sure you know they need to have some small grit in their "tummies" before eating much other than crumbles.

Glad you're wanting to round out those diets!

I am working on introducing my ducks to the joy of sprouts. Mixed success so far.

They do like lettuce, chard, cress, dandelion, and chickweed.
