Lettuce: water. That’s honestly why we use lettuce in human food. Well that and the crunch.
Seeds: protien/fat
Peas: some potassium, iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin C
Oats: good carb/fiber/protein balance

Bread is a good and easy source of carbs. Even if it has other nutrients, the duck is going to be consuming far more carbs than it should. While the other things have carbs, they aren’t nearly as bio-available. It’s like drinking juice that’s had a bunch of sugar added and thinking it’s healthy because it’s juice. Carbs are the thing that’ll make you fat, regardless of what other nutrients come with it.

It does, but I don’t know if the duck can actually digest it, and the protien, fat, and liquid content is very minimal.
I’m a chef, Jim! Not a veterinarian

Not sure but I guess it’s disputed:
The theoretical causes of angel wing are genetics, the excessive intake of carbohydrates and proteins, together with insufficient intake of vitamin E, low dietary calcium and manganese deficiency. However, scientific studies have not proven any link between bread and angel wing[citation needed]; and some experts and academics deny the connection.
