Oooh, maybe I need a couple of ducks then!  My chooks don't bother with slugs, and i seem to have had a pupulation explosion over the past couple of weeks  :tongue2:

our ducks get overripe cucumbers, pumpkins, any greens incl cabbage and lettuce but also weeds such as dandelions etc and any older sweet corn cut off the cobs, bread occasionally and slugs and grubs etc certainly.

Mine love tomatoes, worms and slugs and a little mixed corn.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

Hi Thanks for your replies, but do you cook and chop the veg up first or can they manage?

I chop tomatoes but stuff like lettuce goes to them whole as it keeps them occupied for longer.

I was told that ducks like Marmite on toast but i tried it on ours and they just ignored it mind you was on brown bread maybe they prefer white! slugs and snails seem to be their favourite its like duck chewing gum  :)
