UKPoacher Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Barley and old potatoes mainly. Wheat around the margins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmerboy Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 thow a bit of bread in if you have any going stale or starting to go mouldy, but mainly barley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I mix wheat and kibbled maize. Then I chop up any vegetable peeling, rotten potatoes and crab apples; this all gets threw into a big bucket and we feed the margins with it.

flyingfisherman Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 As above... rotten potatoes, apples and barley.. A friend did try water melons that were on their way out but they didnt get eaten.. Ducks are like hoovers, so ensure a constant supply of food, preferrably more often with smaller amounts, less likely to attract plagues of rats..

shakin stevens Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 try oilseed rape teal love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Anything rejected from the graders. Mainly barley, either full heads or cracked into small bits. Then you get all the other unwanted grass seeds and OSR. As mentioned above, Teal love it! Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
