My six ducks eat a 20 lb bag in three weeks. So they make 35 eggs/bag of food. They also eat lawn clippings, cooking waste and table scraps but we do almost pure feed. They laying isn't normally effected by type of food. I just find it easier to think about them for the minimum time.
Oh and ducks are messier then chickens but they lay all winter. I have tons of fruit trees but in the winter it's nice to have something fresh.
Domestic duck are generally too heavy to fly more that a few yards. I had ducks. I hate ducks. Do not get ducks. Messy. Messy. Loud. Cute. Messy. Eat like pigs. Ducks are entertaining. They are cute. Don't get ducks. kek love/hate thing for me.
