Question? What kind of plants can ducks eat? My kids started giving them rose petals and they love it but I'm afraid of giving them anything without knowing what is safe! Are blueberries or blackberries ok?

well i don't think rose petals r very safe, i think they can have blue berries, but i know for almost certain ducks love their greens so lettuce and cabbage r great, even broccoli! but of course raw broccoli

Question for help please- my drake which I was told here is a WH is changing colors on his head. When we got him, adult but age unknown, his head and neck were a pretty green, kind of like a mallard, which I thought he was at first. Now he has only a small line of the green down the back & middle of his head. Is this normal for Welch Harlequin drakes??? I'm worried he might be lacking in proper nutrition. We feed them Purina game feed from TSC.
Someone told me mallard derived ducks go pale through summer and colour up again in autumn. I wasn't sure I believed it, but its true! Mine are all dark now, but they were pale at the end of summer
Mine won't eat blackberries... We have several bushes around our property, but they won't eat any, even if I pick them and offer it to them. My donkeys love them though.Ok thanks! Good to know. I read elsewhere that rose petals were ok but of course I wanted to make sure and they seem to love them. Wasn't sure about blackberries but they love blueberries and broccoli so far. Not to fond of banana.
