ColinF Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Barley is the best, but wheat will also do. If you can get hold of tailings, they are usually cheap or even free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think many use barley as its the cheapest , but ducks will eat pretty much anything edible you can get in reasonable quantities . Wheat , Barley , rapeseed , potatos potatoe and other veg peelings , pellets the list is endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinF Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why is barley best? In my experience, I have had the best results with barley. I think it lasts a bit longer than wheat in the water and some of it floats which probably attracts ducks and makes it easier for them to find it. Its also normally cheaper than wheat. I haven't used spuds because they aren't really grown around here. What do you think is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
