Hello I was just wondering what the best feed is for my ducks. I have 3 Muscovy girls and right now they are eating Family Farms brand chicken feed, per 40lb bag of feed I add 4 cups of Family Farms brand scratch, 2 cups of dried mealworms, and 1 cup of bewers yeast. I always fill up their bowl before its empty but usually I feed about 2 cups of it per day. I also give them treats in the form of watermelon, peas, lettuce, and some other fruit and vegetables occasionally, and they eat whatever they forage from my yard which they are doing for most of the day(weeds, bugs, etc.) I was just wondering if that seems like a solid feed for ducks or if I should add anything else? Also I am kind of curious of if Mazuri feed is worth it, I've looked at it but it is over 4x as expensive as the usual feed I buy so I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. And should I mix in oyster shell grit with the feed? Or just offer a seperate bowl of it?
Thanks a ton!
