Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yes, the chickens and ducks eat the same food. The difference is the ducks eat waaay more than the chickens. They eat lay crumble and scratch regularly. They all love the kitchen scraps I bring out to them and they go wild for the weeds the grandkids pull and throw in to them. Favorite kitchen scraps are tomatoes and noodles of any kind. I'll see if I can get pictures of some of them for you.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Lay crumble is also known as laying mash, it is a special feed designed to encourage laying eggs. Scratch is cracked corn. ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ -- Re: Kate:-- The "quack" on Duck Eggs/ for Sharon & group Tomatoes and noodles? Really?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Well.... lay crumble (also known as 'mash') is a bagged food that comes from the animal feed store. It's kinda like dog food for laying chickens. Scratch is a combination of corn and other grains and is also a bagged food from the feed store.hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
