Leicester_H Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 My SIL lives near Frinton-On-Sea and has a duck that visits her garden and spends most of the day there. She would like to know what she should feed it - obviously doesn't want to over feed it but wants to encourage it to keep visiting - apparently its really friendly. Any other advice ? (she doesn't have a pond) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Hazel, Our ducks are fed layers pellets, the same as the chickens. Trust this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Are there any treats that can be given (obviously not too much) ? (like most chickens will kill for sweetcorn, grapes etc) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll eat a grape, but only if its thrown at their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ours like sweetcorn, not too bothered about grapes ... and won't eat corn unless it means stealing it from the chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Layers would be good and she may have a nest around somewhere so you may get some ducklings turn up.We have 3 lots all at different ages(wild mallards). We have 5 half growns and 4 hand size and then we did have 4 tiddlers but she has only got 1 this afternoon. The last is not a good mother and forgets her ducklings, so they could be around somewhere. But we have other mothers in waiting who are very tame and keep pestering us for more food too, they come right up to our back door. So I bet she is sitting. Good luck indie Anyhow I hope you get some ducklings soon with her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
