Best Answer

Ducklings eat duck starter which you can get from a feed store. Peas, corn, green beans, limabeans, cooked carrots, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, crickets, worms, small feeder fish, grass, milk, and turkey.

DO NOT FEED them whole grains, onions, dry bread, wild birdseed, ANY TYPE OF BREAD, or caged birdseed.

By example. At birth, baby chicks are still able to live off of the yolk that they recently absorbed in the egg, for about 3 days. After all of his/her siblings have hatched (since the eggs can hatch over a few days, which is why it's important for the chick to have a food source via the yolk), the mama hen usually takes the chicks out to forage and teaches them what's good to eat.

Ducklings eat the same thing grown ducks do, feed, bugs, and seeds. If you're raising Domestic ducks it's best to buy starter duck feed at your local feed store.

NO!! Whatever you do, do NOT feed them bread soaked in milk!! Ducks are lactose intolerant. Giving them milk, especially newborns.
