This is what the ducks have been eating:
Sliced greens from the garden: cabbage, turnip tops, parsnip tops, beans and peas (also lettuce, but it's all gone at present, and dandelions and chickweed picked for them).
Chopped turnip.
A mixture of porridge oats, game feed (such as shooters might buy), cracked wheat, and seeds (wild bird food).
Dried mealworms - as a treat only.
If you buy dried mealworms, it's worth shopping around. You can pay up to £5 for a 100g bag, even £9.20 for 112g. In the UK, we found our local B&M Bargains offered the best deal at 100g for £1.99. Of course, if you buy from a bulk supplier you can do better.
