will ducks eat fire ants?

[cpegram]

I have a male (mallard or rhoen) and a female Peking...they free range just wondering if they will eat fire ants

I dont know for sure but mine eat wasps. I would worry a little about having them near a nest. I have seen a dogs face get completely covered in just a few minutes. I would think they could safely pick off a line of them though. But really

Our chickens and turkeys do, so I imagine the ducks would also. It has made a big difference in our pastures turning out the chickens to free range and eat them up.

I have a Khaki and he will eat them but only if the mound is muddy.

Mine don't pay any attention to the ants.

I wouldn't count on them being great ant eaters.
