chicken paley Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 can you give ducks marmite on toast like you can with chickens every now and then? and can you give them bread, is that actually good for them or do they just like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Don't know about marmite on toast... I don't think bread is overly good for them - especially not in excess but ok as a treat. May have to be soaked first? Mine don't like it anyway... Weirdos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We occasionally give a few s"Ooops, word censored!"s of bread - we throw it in their pond. As for Marmite...........I suppose you'll just have to try them and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Our ducks dont like bread either. I tried them , the chooks ate it instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckmomma Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi I would think Marmite contains a lot of salt so would give it very sparingly Bread is not good for ducks because of the yeast in it, it encourages fungus to grow , so again should be given sparingly.

Duckmomma Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Confession here As soon as Baby hears one of us rustle a crisp bag, she is there begging. I'm afraid we can't resist her and do share them with her. So crisps are another thing to add to the salty snack list to be given sparingly.

Cazz Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 you can give them marmite, like with chickens its good for them,in small doses though bercause of the salt. i think its normally used to help give a little boost to weak birds, for ducklings you're best of giving them mashed up hard boiled egg yoke.
