AberFowl Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi guys Would i be able to feed my pond with hole potatoes for duck or would i be better off chopping them up Ben We chop them up, throw them in freezer overnight then let them thaw and throw around margins.

Konnie Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 As above put in freezer starts them decomposing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Mallard love them best after a good frost (hence the freezer overnight) it softens them up for easy eating. Also a big hit is the crab apples I use, do just the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
