The ducks can now be fed a good quality layer or breeder food suitable for adult ducks or chickens. Pellets or mixed grain are best. They also need daily access to shell grit as a source of calcium to ensure strong shelled eggs.upplement the commercial diet with suitable vegetables and fruit. Ducks need plenty of clean water provided to wash their food down with. Ensure the food and water bowls are close to each other. Do not feed: Bread, popcorn, chocolate, onion, garlic, avocado or citrus fruit.
Too much calcium can be the cause of Kidney failure. Calcium levels in chickensâ layers feeds (around 3-4%) is needed for egg-shell production but drakes or ducks that arenât in lay require less (around 1%). Wheat can be fed in the bottom of a half-bucket of water which will help ducks balance their diet. During the winter, my ducks will eat far fewer layers pellets and a lot of wheat. This is reversed during the breeding season between February and August when the ducks are in lay.
