Any suggestions on affordable treats for ducks? I’ve tried giving them corn, lettuce, peas, green beans and they don’t seem to have that much interest in them. I would give them berries but that would get pricey. so what do your ducks Like? Right now they only seem to like tomatoes.

Ok so I went outside to see if my chicken was laying an egg. And there she was on the nesting box. it looked like she was about to push since she was standing and her comb began to turn pale.
