  I believe, the problem is mainly white bread, which is what people typically have in mind for feeding ducks.

  As opposed to wholegrain, it only retains the endosperm, which is mostly just carbohydrates without many nutrients: Image

  I think, the lack of fiber is also particularly problematic. At least, I’ve heard that it gives them diarrhea, which probably means their guts don’t have time to extract the few remaining nutrients.

  I heard the problem was with yeast interacting poorly with their digestion. Pear, power of the internet, tell me if I’m wrong!
