Cracked corn would be fine for feral ducks.  It does not have near the nutrients nor protein content that they need but if they're able to forage & get adequate nutrition otherwise corn would be fine.  Mixed grain would be another idea.  A feed store or farm store such as Orscheln's or Tractor Supply, etc. would be your best bet for getting a good deal.  Grain sold for poultry is much cheaper than that sold as 'bird seed', in my experience, so there is that to consider.  Cat or dog kibble is fine for a treat, as are veggies from the garden if you have some that are unsightly or a bit over-ripe.  My birds used to LOVE, L.O.V.E. sliced cucumbers & would mob me for them.  Another muscovy owner said hers wouldn't touch them.  Hope this helps.
