Black oil sunflower seed reception to ducks

[nao57]

Hi.

I wanted to get feedback on black oil sunflower seeds being fed to ducks, and how it went from some of you doing it?

The internet says they will and can eat them, because of being a soft shell variety.

But then after I was working on how to set this up, I got a bit worried because I didn't see any feedback from real backyard people that weren't internet people with little or no experience.

Have some of you done this? And also have you done the version with the seeds sprouted for efficiency?

Supposedly if you do this with the seeds sprouted you can get more gains with a sprouted fodder setup and efficiency. But the science seems like it should have real people that are just backyard people that are able to say it actually works. These types of setups do work for others that have goats, chickens, sheep, etc. But I realized I didn't see any feed back that were duck people.

Any comments in regards to this would be helpful. Thanks.

I feed black oil sun flower seeds to my ducks. They have no trouble with them. I don’t sprout them because I am lazy and don’t really grow plants well.

I feed BOSS as a treat, and my ducks (Muscovy and Runner) love it. I haven't tried sprouting them, but they (ones the birds missed) germinate on their own in warmer weather.

I feed them, BOSS, on occasions, ducks love them and good for them too.
