What do Mallard Ducks eat?

Answer 1

If you have new ducklings, you should start them off with duck crumbles. This is a kind of duck feed that you can find at most farm stores such as an Agway or Blue Seal feed store. Just make complete sure that the feed is appropriate for ducks and is non-medicated. Whenever you give food to your ducks or ducklings, be sure that they have plenty of clean drinking water.

As your ducks get older, you may want to switch them from crumbles to pellets. This kind of food will reduce waste. At this point in a duck's life you may want to give them more variety in their diet. Try some fresh vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, carrots, corn, or lettuce. Ducks will greatly appreciate any of the aforementioned choices, as long as they are fresh.

When your female ducks are around 20 weeks old, they will begin to lay eggs. You will notice a great change in their behavior. This includes weakness, loss of flight ability, and swelling of the female's abdomen. At this point, you must switch them to layer feed. This as well as regular duck feed can be found at your local farm stores.
