Penelope Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Ducks will eat pretty much anything so I see no reason why not with regards to the barley, not sure about the hops though. Could make for some very erratic flying ducks though. can this be fed to ducks ? anyone have experience of doing this PS not for reared duck for wild duck flight ponds Edited August 26, 2015 by Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hifly Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 use to feed flight pond with malted barley from greenking, ponds were always full of ducks not so many now as we cannot get it, so yes ducks do like malted barley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 There is a difference from feeding ducks malted barley and just the waste from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesWhat Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Do you know how long the malted barley will keep please? I can pick some up this week but won't be able to do my feed stint until next...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutt Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 sorry don't have a clue how long it keeps but keeping it cool won't harm others on here will know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehackle Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 It goes moldy after about 3 days. Not long. I am feeding ducks on it at the moment. When I get it, its still hot. So if you could cool it or even freeze it the it would last longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've been following this thread as we have a couple of small breweries in the locality; but so far no one has mentioned what effect the waste has on the quality of the water, and the plant life in it, if any. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutt Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Scully we don't use it to feed reered duck. I think it will depend on amounts used we only scatter small amount around edges and all sites have moving water thru them, its not dumped by the ton into burns or ponds just enough to get wild duck interested in visiting.not a scientific study I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
